Camera shots

Extreme Wide Shot (EWS)..

The extreme wide shot is to show the surroundings of the Locations. The EWS is often used as an "establishing shot" - Which is normally the first shot of a new scene, they do this normally to introduce the location and the surroundings in which the characters are in.


Mid Shot...
The mid shot is normally introduced as the story line progresses giving the audience a chance to connect with the characters. This shot doesn't show the complete surroundings but goes into more detail.


Close up...

This on either a face, or a detail of mise en scene. Its created to show more detail, for example expressions on a characters face or important features that need to be deliberately highlighted and noticed but the audience.
