Camera Shot Types

Medium Close Up

This is a medium close up as you can see the upper side of their body, but we are able to see their face very well. Half way between a medium shot and a close up shot.

Close Up

This is a close up as the camera has zoomed in so we can see her face close up allowing us to see her expression entirely, taking up the majority of the frame.

Wide Shot

This is a wide shot as thesubject takes up the full frame, allowing us to see the whole body of the character and their surroundings.

Over The Shoulder Shot

This is an over the shoulder shot as it allows us to see what the character can see, as it is at eye level with the character and we are positioned at the side of the shot. (Over the shoulder)
