Types of Camera shots I could use

I could use a variety of camera shots when taking my central image for the magazine. Here is an overview of several different types of camera shots:

Extreme Wide Shot

The object is so far from the shot you can not see it. Often referred to as an establishing shot.

Very Wide Shot

The subject of the camera is just visible, but the main focus is to show its environment or surroundings.

Wide Shot/Long Shot

The focus of the camera, or the subject, takes up the full frame but you can still see some of its surroundings. An example of this is a camera shot of a whole person where you can see the full body on the picture.

Medium Shot or Mid Shot

Shows some part of the subject. More detailed than a Long Shot but still showing most of the person or subject.

Medium Close Up

More focused than a Mid-Shot. Shows subject in more detail.

Close Up

A feature of the subject or focusing image is shown in more detail and takes up the whole frame.

Extreme Close Up

Shows the feature in extreme detail. This shot is often used in films, usually in Horror genres to focus on something such as the "bad guy's" eyes or in a romance genre to show the characters lips before they kiss.

Cutaway Shot

A shot of something that is not the current action, only used in film.

Cut-In shot

Shows some part of the subject in detail.
