Here I have collected some images and the relevant information regarding some typically used shots within movies. I am going to use these as reference in my thriller opening production.
Establishing shot- often used to set the scene, shows the audience/viewer the setting of the scene or movie in general.
Very long shot- The subject is visible in this shot, but the emphasis is still on placing the character in the scene.
Long shot- Typically shows the subjects entire figure, shot taken in relation to placing the character in their surroundings.
Medium (Mid) shot- The subject is often framed from the waist up, these are often poor at showing facial expressions but a lot better at showing body language.
Medium close up- between a medium and close up shot.
Close up shot- Used to show an action or expression, the body part or the face pictured typically takes up the whole screen.
Extreme close up- exaggerated version of the close up shot, shows part of the face or body, to focus on certain expressions/speech.
Two shot- usually a comfortable shot of two people, framed similarly within the shot.
Over the shoulder shot- looks from behind the receiver (over their shoulder) at the speaker during an on-screen conversation.
