Long Shot: A long shot shows the entire body of a character or the entire setting of a scene. It allows the audience to get a broad overview of the scene and the context of the action. Close-up: A close-up shot shows a character’s face so the audience can see their expressions and reactions more clearly. It is often used to emphasize emotion or key moments in a scene. Establishing Shot: An establishing shot is a wide shot that sets the scene and establishes the context of the action. It is usually used at the beginning of a scene to provide the audience with a sense of the location and characters.
