We also talk about the different shots used within the media industry. We first af all went through the all shot distances which are the shots which show the apparent distance of the camera from the subject.

• Wide shot- a shot using a wide-angle lens that distorts what we see including objects froma wider area of vision than a normal shot.
• Extreme long shot- used for landscapes or cityscapers; the human figure is barely significant.
• Long shot- the human form is prominant but the landscape still dominates. the whole of the human body can be seen in this shot.
• Mediun long shot- the human figure can be seen from the knees up.
• Mediun shot- the human form can be seen from the waist up.
• Mediun close up- the human form can be seen from the chest up.
• Close up- shows a human face or draws attention to a specific object.
• Extreme close up- shows detail or a specific part of the human face e.g. the mouth

Shots by functions or content:

• Establishing shot- this is a shot of the location where the next unit of drama takes place. it is often the exterior shot, showing the building which the action will take place. an establishing shot can also be an interior e.g. a balcony shot
• Master shot- this is a shot that shows that everyone is ina location e.g. a room. Following a master shot, edits to close up and shot-reverse-shot sequences will not confuse us because the master shot has shown us where everyone is in relation to each other. A master shot shows the people, an establishing shot shows the place.
• Two shot- any shot containing two people.
• Point of view shot POV- a shot showing what a character is looking at, following the eye line match edit.
• Over the shoulder point of view shot- a POV in which we can see part of the person whose viewpoint we are seeing usualy the shoulder.
• Ariel shot- where the camera is looking directly down from above the subject froma great height.
• Worm's eye view shot- looking directly up at the subject.

Camera angle- when tha camera is looking at the subject froma starndard level.

• High angle- the camera is higher than the subject and is looking down on them. the connotation of this is that the subject is lacking in power os status.
• Low angle- the camera is place lower than the subject and we are looking up at him. the connotation is that the subject is powerfull.
• Dutch angle- the camera is tillted over, making the diegetic world appear as if it is on a slope, this is used to make the viewer feel uneasy or disorientated.
