Filmmakers use different kinds of shots to help the audience understand and realize what is going on. They use three different shots; long shot, medium shot, and close up. The long shot lets you know what is going on, where are we, what kind of setting we are in. The medium shot helps us understand where we are supposed to be focusing to, what were supposed be looking at. Finally, the close up shot, this shot shows us specific detail that the filmmaker wants us to know. Here are several shots from one of my favorite movie Never Back Down.
In this shot we see a building, we really don't know what it is but our attention is focused on it because it is the only thing in the shot.
In this shot, the director takes us into this warehouse and we see that it is actually a training facility. We also see the main actors interacting and using the facility. this setting is important because the protagonist is able to learn and fight through the use of this gym.
In this last shot, we have a close up of the main actor. We see bruising on his face and we can tell he is pretty upset.
