Camera shots

EWS (Extreme Wide Shot)- The view is so far from the subject that he isn't even visible. Often used as an establishing shot.

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

WS (Wide Shot) - The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible.

MCU (Medium Close Up) - Half way between a MS and a CU.MS (Mid Shot) - Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.

CU (Close Up) - A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.


ECU (Extreme Close Up) - The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.

Cut-In - Shows some part of the subject in detail.

CA (Cutaway) - A shot of something other than the subject.


Two-Shot - A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot.

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

P.OV (Point of view shot) - shows a view from the subjects perspective.


Noddy Shot - Usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject.
