Basic camera shots

This video covers most of the basic camera shots that are used when filming. The long shots and the extreme long shots cover a lot of space and show the audience the whole setting of the scene. The close up shots show us the characters emotions and expressions on his face so the audience know how the character is feeling. The medium shots are able to get most of the character in frame so we can see his body movements and actions. The cut-in shot can give us a basic point of view of what the character is reading on the letter.
