  1. Types of Camera Shots How are frames used in films?

  2. CAMERA DISTANCECamera/Shot Distance or “Type of Shot” • extreme long (ELS) • long (LS) • medium long shot (MLS) • medium (MS) • medium close-up (MCU) • close-up (CU) • extreme close-up (ECU)

  3. Example of Extreme Long Shot

  4. Extreme Long Shot • the view is so far from the subject that s/he isn't even visible. The point of this shot is to show the subject's surroundings. • The EWS is often used as an "establishing shot" - the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. • The EWS is also known as an extra long shot or extreme long shot (acronym XLS).

  5. Example of Long Shot

  6. Long Shot • In the wide shot, the subject takes up the full frame. If the subject doesn't take up the whole width and height of the frame, the frame goes as close as possible without losing any part of the subject.

  7. Example of Mid Shot

  8. Mid Shot • The mid shot shows some part of the subject in more detail, but shows enough for the audience to feel as if they were looking at the whole subject. • The mid shot is an approximation of how you would see a person if you were having a casual conversation. You wouldn't be paying any attention to their lower body, so that part of the picture is unnecessary. • The MS is appropriate when the subject is speaking without too much emotion or intense concentration. • The mid shot allows room for hand gestures and a bit of movement.

  9. Example of Closeup

  10. Example of Extreme Close UP

  11. Extreme Close UP • The ECU (also known as XCU) gets right in and shows extreme detail. • You would normally need a specific reason to get this close. It is too close to show general reactions or emotion except in very dramatic scenes.

  12. Example of Over the Shoulder

  13. Over the Shoulder • This shot is framed from behind a person who is looking at the subject. • This shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view. • It's common to cut between these shots during a conversation, alternating the view between the different speakers.

  14. Example of Point of View (POV)

  15. Point of View (POV) • This shot shows a view from the subject's perspective. It is usually edited in such a way that it is obvious whose POV it is
