EXTREME LONG SHOT
A shot taken from a far place, that
shows scenery. It’s usually used to set a
setting. The shot normally shows an
exterior, and will show very little detail.

LONG SHOT
Shows “life-like” dimensions; a woman looks as tall as she would be. It usually shows the whole body of the character,
and still has the details of the background.

MEDIUM SHOT
Shows the subject from the waist up, and is used
often during dialogue, or to show details of action.
Variations are the two shot, and three shot. The
background has little detail, mostly because location
has already been shown, and the viewers want to see
dialogue and characters.

RULE OF THIRDS
A “photography rule” in which the photographer
imagines/sets up a grid that has 9 sections. They then
place points of interest along the intersections of the
grid, making the image see more balanced and
natural.

EXTREME CLOSE UP
A shot that gets close enough to show extreme detail
that normally cannot be seen with the human eye.
Usually used for dramatic effect. The shot requires a
tight focus that could easily turn out wrong with the
slightest shake or error.

OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
A shot taken from behind the shoulder of the character
looking at the talking subject. The character in which the
camera is looking over should take up less than half of the
shot. It’s used during conversations, and switched
between characters.

often used for interviews or when two people are presenting or hosting a show.

EYE LEVEL
A shot that positions the camera at the height of a human as if they were the ones observing the scene, so that the
angle is level with actor, etc. The camera is placed about 5 to 6 feet off the ground

I got nothing to do, and nowhere to be. This seems like a pretty good place to hang out for the afternoon
By Ed Yourdon
HIGH ANGLE LEVEL
Less extreme from the bird’s eye view, the camera is lifted high to give a general overview of the scene,
usually using a crane to do this. This shot makes the main object being photographed look less significant and merge into the setting to become part of a wider
picture.

The Pension Building by Patrick and Preston Thomas
OBLIQUE SHOT
A shot which is taken with a tilted
camera. When it is actually seen, the
subject appears to be on its side.

Oblique Tunnel Shot by Tom Blackwell
POINT OF VIEW
The height, position, and direction all define the point of view in a shot.
