(2) Long Shot A long shot contains landscape but gives the viewer a more specific idea of setting. A long shot may show the viewers the building where the action will take place.
(3) Full shot A full shot contains a complete view of the characters. From this shot, viewers can take in the costumes of characters and may also help to demonstrate the relationships between characters.
(4) Close-up A close-up contains just one character’s face. This enables viewers to understand the actor’s emotions and also allows them to feel empathy for the character.
(5) Extreme Close-up An extreme close-up contains one part of a character’s face or other object. This technique is quite common in horror films. This type of shot creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer.
