Types of shots

 This shot is a Extreme close up (ECU), this shot can be used to see facial expression and should just cover the mouth, nose and a small bit of the chin. You will mainly see Extreme Close up shots when something bad has happened to show the real expression on the actors face. You will see many Close up's in series, and on general TV as they are very effective shots.

Here is a Medium Shot (MS), this shot shows the actors body langauge well and get's the feeling of the actor through to the viewers. These can be very powerful shots as it can show how the actor feels and can have a great effect on the final outcome.

 Here is  Three-qaurter shot (3/4), again this type of shot can show the actors body language very well, it gets part of the body in so you can see how he is showing his body language by moving his arms in maybe fustration or just explaing something.

This type of shot is called Medium Long shot (MLS), this shows the whole body and can be used in any type of genre, it show's how the person is standing, it show's there full body langauge and gets the point across to the viewer what they are doing. Medium long shot's are great, this gives the chance to add in some of the enviroment, but also allows multiple people to easily interact.

 This is a Long/Wide shot (LS/WS), the long shot can be very simular to the wide shot. This shot can be very useful for displaying the enviroment behind the scene and some of the stuff happening around the scene. It can capture other audience's into the shot and shows the audience what they are surrounded by and what else is happening around them.

Here is a Over the Shoulder shot (OSS), this shot is framed from behind a person who is looking at the subject. The person facing the subject should usually occupy about 1/3 of the frame. This shot can be used for interviews and other serious parts of a film or programme.
