this can be taken up to a quarter of a mile away it is normally used to set the scene (also known as an establishing shot). an example of this is the outside of a building, or a landscape.
Long shot
shows the image as approximately "life" size corresponding to the real distance between the audience and the screen in a cinema. It shows the entire human body, with the head at the top of the frame and the feet at the bottom.
Medium shot
shows a figure from the knees/waist up and is normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action. The detail in the background is minimal, probably because location has been established earlier in the scene, the audience already know where they are and now want to focus on dialogue.
Close upThis shows very little background and concentrates on either a face or a specific detail of mise en scene. everything else is just a blur in the background.
Extreme close up
As its name suggests an extreme version of the close up, generally magnifying beyond what the human eye would experience in reality. an extreme close up in reality. an extreme close up of a face, for instance, would show only the mouth or eyes with no background detail whatsoever.
