Production: the types of shots used when filming

Throughout our video we used various types of shots which are close ups, medium shots, medium close ups, long shots and wide shots.

Close up: Close up is used when the focus in the shot is an person or an object. the shot would be entirely on the object/person and will be zoomed into the face of the person or  into the object cutting out most of the surroundings.

Medium and Medium close up shots: Camera shot midway between close up and wide shot usually including head to the waist. Medium close up is a little bit more zoomed in which will have the head to just below chest.

Long shot: Zoomed out shot with the singer distanced away from the camera, usually used to show a great length of scenery or when the singer is walking towards camera.

Wideshot: Wide shot shows the whole body of the object or singer. it usually shows just   some parts of the scenery around the body or object.
