The Shot: A shot is continuous non-interrupted image for a period.

There are different types of shots. The type of shot depends on five elements: theSIZE of the frame, the HEIGHT of the camera, the ANGLE of the frame, MOVEMENT of the camera and the PLACEMENT of the camera within the location or set.

SIZE of the frame: Close-Up (CU)– camera emphasizes a small detail with in the frame. Extreme Close-up (ECU)– camera emphasizes a small detail. Head Shot (HS)– the head of a character fills the frame. Medium Shot (MS)– the head and chest of a character fill the frame. Full Shot (FS)– A shot of a character from head to toe. Long Shot (LS) – A shot of a setting or landscape but characters are still dominant within the frame Extreme Long Shot – (ELS) – is an exaggerated distance away from the main action. Characters are very tiny in the frame; the setting or landscape is dominant. Establishing Shot (ES) – A shot that establishes person, place or thing. Usually used as the first shot of scene. Over-The-Shoulder (OTS) – Camera is slightly behind one character emphasizing their perspective. POINT-OF-VIEW (POV)– The camera becomes the character. The camera sees what the character sees and the audience experiences what the character experiences.
