Different types of basic shots to remember that can be used for our film production
![]() EWS (Extreme Wide Shot) The view is so far from the subject that she isn’t even visible. This is often used as an establishing shot. |
![]() VWS (Very Wide Shot) The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing her in her environment. |
![]() WS (Wide Shot) The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as possible. The same as a long shot. |
![]() MS (Mid Shot) Shows some part of the subject in more detail whilst still giving an impression of the whole subject. |
![]() MCU (Medium Close Up) Half way between a MS and a CU. |
![]() CU (Close Up) A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame. |
![]() ECU (Extreme Close Up) The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail. |
![]() CA (Cutaway) A shot of something other than the current action. |
![]() Cut-In Shows some part of the subject in detail. |
![]() Two-Shot A comfortable shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot. |
![]() (OSS) Over-the-Shoulder Shot Looking from behind a person at the subject. |
![]() Noddy Shot Usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject, although noddies can be used in drama and other situations. |
![]() Point-of-View Shot (POV) Shows a view from the subject’s perspective. |
![]() Weather Shot The subject is the weather, usually the sky. Can be used for other purposes. |
