Shot Types are the different kinds of shots that can be used in
film, photography, and other media.
They consist of different angles, sizes, and
positions, and are useful for portraying a
variety of different emotions, or just making
the image clearer.
When selecting an appropriate shot type, it is important to think
about what you want the media to capture, like someone’s
emotions, and what you want to show to the viewer.
The Establishing Shot is a useful shot-type.
It shows the whole scenery, and is useful to show where
something takes place.
They can give the viewer a
quick idea of what the
place is like, or just to
show where it is.
This image shows the vast desert, so we now know something
will take place here.
Wide- Shots are similar to an Establishing shot.
However, they focus more on a specific point.
As you can see, this Wide Shot focuses on the plants in the
of the barren desert.
It shows a specific object/
place that may be relevant
to the media, or just to
give a better idea of what
the place is.
The Medium Shot shows most of the focused object/ person/
animal.
It is useful to focus on one of those things, and is very commonly
used in media.
This picture focuses on the
panther, and shows that it

focus of the image.
The Close-Up Shot is great for capturing a certain part of
something.

that it may be sad.
The Extreme Close-Up Shot is very dramatic.
