The first shot was a long shot and established the context. The second shot is called a medium shot. The final two shots are close-ups. Close-ups communicate intimacy and allow the viewer to see facial expressions. Jeff & Emma talking at the patio table. 1.) First shot includes long view of deck. 2.)

It can be communicated by the size of objects in the foreground or background. It may also taps into the viewer’s emotions. Notice this shot conveys a smaller sense of space and intimacy. NoneNarration of text. Slide 18The camera’s point of view or POV is used to help viewers identify with the different viewpoints in a story. The first shot is called an establishing shot and is used to provide context for the shots that follow. The second shot is from one point of view in the conversation. The final shot is from the other character’s point of view. NoneNarration of text.

Shooting from behind can add interest and emphasize different aspects of the scene. NoneNarration of text. Slide 20Continuity is when the shots all connect together fluidly to make the story clear and meaningful. Part of continuity is the transitions between shots. Cutaway shots move from the main characters to other things going on in the scene. NoneNarration of text. Slide 21Movement takes on new meaning in videos as the actual movement can be captured.
