Long Shot
A long shot is a shot that usually shows an entire object or human figure thus the name long shot. It's main purpose can be to set the scene although there are others such as displaying action scenes in war films or disaster movies. In our case we used the long shot to show the scene and two human figures. This was the first shot we filmedPan Shot
This is when the camera is rotated in a horizontal (typically) on a vertical axis but the effect can be intensified by doing things like using a dolly. It's main purpose is to follow a subject or create a panoramic effect, this was our purpose. This was the second shot we filmed.
Extreme Close Up
The extreme close up is a related notion of the close up. As the shot is as self explanatory as the name, it does not really show the scene at all, Thus displays forces the audience to recognise the subject or object in extreme detail. This was the third shot we filmed.
Close Up
The close up is identical to the extreme close up with the only difference being the scene can be viewed by the audience as well as the subject. This was the forth shot we filmed.
Medium Shot
The medium shot is a shot the is filmed at a medium distance, It is the midway point between a long shot and a close up although it's dividing line can be heavily debated. For example, some professionals believe the medium shot starts from the knees above, whilst others believe it is from the waist, In our case we went with the first option as it seemed more appropriate. This was the fifth shot we filmed.
Point Of View shot (POV)
The point of view shot is a shot that displays to the audience what the character is looking at via the camera, in this case
