This shows the subject and the environment around the subject, this would be used to show where your character would be for the next scene to show the audience the environment that the character is surrounded by.  

FULL SHOT 

It shows the subject fully from head to toe , which could be used to show the differences in height if there was two subjects. This full shot shows us the character in full which could help to show us his body form or to show if he was in a wheel chair.

 MID SHOT

Shows some part of the subject in more detail , this could be used to show the upper body if the subject had a big torso to fill the frame witch would make the subject look more powerful .


CLOSE UP
Certain feature or part of the subject that takes up the whole frame , this would be used to show the character having a convocation with him self or the audience.


EXTREME CLOSE UP
Get close up and personal with the subject to show more detail in the facial expressions , this would be used for facial expressions .

  1. Useful notes here on camera angles. You could explain how not just only how they are used but what the effect on the audience is.
