Information Technology Shot Types Information Technology

Information Technology Terminology • The exact terminology varies but the basic principles are the same. • Shots are usually described in relation to a particular subject. • In most of the examples ahead, the subject is the boy. 2

Information Technology Terminology • EWS (Extreme Wide Shot) • VWS (Very Wide Shot) • WS (Wide Shot) • MS (Mid Shot) • MCU (Medium Close Up) • CU (Close Up) • ECU (Extreme Close Up) • OSS (Over-the. Shoulder Shot) • Noddy Shot • POV (Point-of-View Shot ) 3

Information Technology EWS – Extreme wide shot • In the extreme wide shot, the view is so far from the subject that s/he isn't even visible. • The point of this shot is to show the subject's surroundings. • The EWS is often used as an "establishing shot" - the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. 4

Information Technology 5

Information Technology VWS (Very Wide Shot) • The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing him in his environment. 6

Information Technology WS (Wide Shot) • The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible. AKA long shot. 7

Information Technology MS (Mid Shot) • Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject. 8

Information Technology MCU (Medium Close Up) • Half way between a MS and a CU. 9

Information Technology CU (Close Up) • A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame. 10

Information Technology ECU (Extreme Close Up) • The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail. 11

Information Technology Cut-In • Shows some (other) part of the subject in detail. 12

Information Technology CA (Cutaway) • A shot of something other than the subject. 13

Information Technology Two-Shot • A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot. 14

Information Technology (OSS) Over-the-Shoulder Shot • Looking from behind a person at the subject. 15

Information Technology Noddy Shot • Usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject. 16

Information Technology Point-of-View Shot (POV) • Shows a view from the subject's perspective. 17
