Shot types

when filming I set out to try and challenge my photography and filming skills, i did this by this by trying to include as many different shot types as possible.This was to see if i was able to capture these shots and it would also give me a better understanding of how they are used. this would also give much a much greater range of shot types enabling me to select the best to use in my production. 

This is an over the shoulder shot. This is when a shot is taken from behind the shoulder and is used to show you the perspective of the character. It is also frequently used in shot reverse shot as it helps to establish who is talking and who they are talking to.

This is an establishing shot. used to show the location were the following scene is going to take place.

This is a POV shot. POV stands for point of view and is used to show exactly what the character see. once a POV shot is shown it will often show the character after to show it was the perspective.

This is an extreme close up, this has been used to show an object of high importance and is supposed to make the viewer focus on it.
