➢ When your shot captures one
subject it’s known as a
single
shot:
is a camera shot with two
characters featured in the frame:
A two-shot
shot shows your
subject from behind the shoulder of
another character. Because it emulates
perspective, it’s common in conversation
scenes.
An over-the-shoulder
shot is similar to an
over-the-shoulder shot in that the camera
is placed with a character’s hip in the
foreground, and the focused subject is
within the plane of acceptable focus.
An over-the-hip
makes your subject appear small
against their location. You can use an
extreme long shot to make your
subject feel distant or unfamiliar
An extreme long shot(or extreme wide
shot)
shots that let your subject fill the
frame while keeping an
emphasis on scenery.
full shot
is a camera shot that shows
the viewer exactly what that character
sees.
A POV shot
the subject from roughly the knees up. It splits the
difference between a full shot and a medium shot. Here’s
an example of the medium wide shot size from one of
the best crime movies, The Usual Suspects:
- A medium wide shot (a.k.a medium-long shot) frames
is
the same idea, but a bit closer. If your subject is a person then
his or her whole body will be in view but not filling the shot.
The long shot (also known as a wide shot, abbreviated “WS”)
is any shot that’s sole
purpose is to focus the viewer’s
attention to a specific detail within a
scene.
An insert shot
, which frames the subject from
roughly mid-thighs up.
A variation on this is the Cowboy
Shot
is one of the most
common camera shots. It’s like the
cowboy shot above, but frames from
roughly the waist up and through the
torso. So, it emphasizes more of your
subject while keeping their
surroundings visible.
The medium shot
frames your
subject from roughly the chest up . So, it
typically favors the face, but keeps the
subject somewhat distant.
The Medium close-up
camera shot fills
your frame with a part of your
subject. If your subject is a
person, it is often their face .
Here’s an example of the close up
shot size:
The close up
is the most you can fill
a frame with your subject. It often shows
eyes, mouth and gun triggers. In extreme
close up shots, smaller objects get great
detail and are the focal point.
An extreme close up
is a shot at the head
of a scene that clearly shows us the
location of the action. This shot often
follows an aerial shot and is used to show
where everything will happen.
An establishing shot

Duplicate
is an
essential way to combine objects together and
create more complex designs. But let’s say you
just grouped two things together and realized
that one of the objects you just grouped needs
to be adjusted.
