More examples of shot types

Mid-shot- This shot goes approximately down to the waist and captures actions well. For example in this picture it is clear that the model is playing basketball, because the shot has the basketball in it and also she is wearing a basketball top. However if this shot was a close up then we as the audience wouldn't have any idea what was going on in the picture.














Over the shoulder shot- This shot keeps both characters in focus but engages the audience in the conversation or scene. Makes the audience feel involved.
