Explain the three types of shots and give an example for each.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. A sample answer follows. The three types of shots are long shot, medium shot and close-up. A long shot shows a wide view of an area. For example, shots that show a mountain range, a concert hall or a street with buildings on either side extending through a city are long shots.
A medium shot provides more detail than a long shot but not extreme detail. With a medium shot, a group of people can take up a frame. Also, the subject can be just one or two people and the area surrounding them. For example, a medium shot can be two people sitting at separate desks in a classroom. The people are seen as well as the desks around them.
A close-up shows extreme detail of a subject or object. For example, with a close-up of an eye, the eye would take up most of the frame. With such a close-up, a viewer could see the shades of pigment in the person's eye. A less-extreme close-up is a head shot that shows a person head (shoulders up).
