Shot Size

Shot Size

This means how big the images are in the picture, what is being focused on, and what the image is trying to accomplish. For example, extreme close ups which draw the viewers eyes straight to the image of focus, this can add mystery, build tension, and show a specific emotion or movement from a person that can add to the character, and give the viewers more of an understanding of the character. Another shot size is close ups are used to draw attention to something, or someone, these draw the viewers eyes, close ups can also be used for dramatic effect. then there are mid shots are used to show a person from usually the waste up, or waste down. These shots allow room for more than one person so a director or photographer can use these shots to draw focus to more than one person, and these shots are still close enough to prevent anything being in the background which would draw the viewers eyes away from the characters. then there is wide shots are used to show from head to toe of someone, anything in the background such as a forest, water, bridge. These shots are also used for groups of people for example in crime scene investigations, long shots are typically used to show the whole investigation team at work on the site of the kill.
