    The document discusses 12 different types of shots in film including extreme long shots, long shots, medium shots, close-ups, and extreme close-ups. Each shot is defined by how much of the subject or scene it captures and what part of the subject is visible. Shots can be taken from high, low, eye level, or oblique angles to achieve different dramatic effects and influence how powerful or vulnerable the subject appears.

    Focus on how media frames in visual media presented.


    Types of shots in a film:

    1. Extreme Long Shot

    The extreme wide shot or extreme long shot  is all about showing the world in which the story takes place. In
    an extreme wide you will see large landscapes in the frame. 

    2. Long Shot

    A wide shot, often referred to as a long shot, puts characters in context to the backdrop you establish in
    an extreme wide shot. The characters can be seen from head to toe and you see them in relation to the
    location or each other

    3. Medium Shot

    A wide shot, often referred to as a long shot, puts characters in context to the backdrop you establish in
    an extreme wide shot. The characters can be seen from head to toe and you see them in relation to the
    location or each other.
    `
    4.Medium Close Up

    Halfway between the close-up and the medium shot is the medium close-up that frames the subject from the
    shoulders up. This shot might be used if you want to show more body language as you capture some
    emotion and facial expressions

    5. Close-Up

    In the closeup shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person
    usually means a close up of their face (unless specified otherwise). Close-ups are obviously useful for
    showing detail and can also be used as a cut-in.

    6. Extreme Close-Up

    An extreme close-up frames even tighter on a face (or subject), highlighting facial features more. It usually
    frames a particular part of the face like the eyes or the mouth. It is even more intimate than the close-up and
    is almost uncomfortably close, so the viewer is more apt to feel whatever the Actor is conveying, which is
    why it is used to show more intense emotion and is often used as drama increases.

    `
    7. Birds Eye View

    A bird's-eye shotrefers to a shot looking directly down on the subject. It is shot by lifting the camera up by
    hands or by hanging it off something strong enough to support it. 

    8. High Angle

    A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high
    angleand the point of focus often gets "swallowed up."High-angle shots can make the subject seem
    vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.

    9. Eye Level

    An eye level shot refers to when the level of your camera is placed at the same height as the eyes of the
    characters in your frame. An eye level camera angle does not require the viewer to see the eyes of the actor,
    nor does the actor need to look directly into the camera for a shot to be considered eye level.

    `
    10. Low Angle

    In cinematography, a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis,


    anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Sometimes, it is even directly below the subject's feet. 

    11. Worms Eye View

    A worm's-eye view is a view of an object from below, as though the observer were a worm; the opposite of
    a bird's-eye view. It can be used to look up to something to make an object look tall, strong, and mighty
    while the viewer feels child-like or powerless.

    12. Obligue/Canted

    A camera angle which is deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to help portray
    unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.
