Examples of Shot Types.

 This is an example of a Full Shot (FS). Typically showing the person from head to toe without showing alot of the background.

This is an example of a Medium Full Shot (Pan American). Showing the person from just below the knees to the top of the head.
















Next we have the Mid Shot (MS). Showing a person from above the knees to the top of the head.

 

 After this we have the Mid Close Up (MCU). This is  between a Mid Shot and a Close Up.


















This is an example of a Close Shot. Where the subject dominates most of the frame.

















This is an example of a Full Close Up.  Showing the subject from the neck up to the top of the head.

















This is an example of a Big Close Up. Showing something specific in close detail.

A slightly different shot shown here is the Over the Shoulder (OTS) shot. Showing the subject from the shoulder of the other person.

This is an example of a Profile shot. Showing the subject from the side.

 A Clean Single, shown here, is a shot with no intruding items in the foreground, showing the subject cleanly.

















The Last shot I have an example of is a Point of View (POV) shot, which shows the viewer what the subject is looking at. For example in this still the subject is looking at and grasbing the door handle.
