Types of shot
Close-up - Close-ups are used for distinguishing main characters. Major characters are often given a close-up when they are introduced as a way of indicating their importance. Leading characters will have multiple close-ups. This shot tightly frmaes a person or object, they also display the most detail, but they do not include the broader scene. Moving in to a close-up or away from a close-up is a common type of zooming.
Medium shot - A full-length view of a human subject is called a medium shot, these shots are relatively good in showing facial expressions but also work well to show body language. Every shot that isn't a long shot or close-up thends to be a medium shot, it should generally contain all the action of the scene and it should be well matched with the flow of the long shot.
Long shot - The camera is placed far away to capture a large area of veiw, and quite often the opening scene to a movie,and is most likely of a building. A long shot is a very usuful way of establihing a location.
Two shot - a type of shot which the frame encompasses a view of two people, these people do not have to be next to each other. Common two-shots have one subject in the foreground and the other subject in the background. These shots are also used to show the emotional reactions between the subjects, and an American two shot shows two heads facing each other.
