VIDEO TOOLKIT
Extreme Long Shot (ELS / EWS)
• Also known as extreme wide shot (EWS). • Covers a wide area. • Shows the whole figure of your subject
as well as his surroundings. • Provides context for your scene.
VIDEO TOOLKIT
Long Shot (LS / FS)
• Also known as full shot (FS). • Frames the whole figure of your subject,
from the head to the toes. • Places the subject in relation to the
environment and the people around it. • The point of the focus is the subject but
the environment is also visible. • Shows action rather than emotion.
VIDEO TOOLKIT
Medium Long Shot (MLS)
• Also known as a three-quarters shot. • Frames the whole subject from the
knees up. • An intermediate shot between the long
shot and the medium shot. • Shows the subject in relation to the
surroundings. • May be used when you have 2 or 3
persons in the frame.
VIDEO TOOLKIT
Medium Shot (MS)
• Also known as the waist shot. • Frames the subject from the waist up. • Commonly used in interviews. • Directs the viewer to the subject.
VIDEO TOOLKIT
Medium Close-up (MCU)
• Frames a subject's head and cuts off around mid-chest.
• The focus is on the subject. • Reveals only a little of the surroundings. • Shows the facial expressions of the
subject. • Commonly used for interviews in
documentaries and news programs.
VIDEO TOOLKIT
Close-up (CU)
• Frames a subject's face and cuts off mid-neck, showing the face and entire head.
• The subject fills almost the entire frame. • Captures facial expressions and
emotions.
VIDEO TOOLKIT
Extreme Close-up (ECU)
• Frames just the person's facial features. • Frames only a portion of the subject. • Shows the person's emotions.

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE: A PERSPECTIVE ON FILM EDITING
THE RULE OF SIX
1. Emotion (51%) – It is true to the emotion of the moment.
2. Story (22%) – It advances the story.
3. Rhythm (10%) – It occurs at a moment that is rhythmically interesting and ‘right’.
4. Eye-trace (7%) – It acknowledges what you might call ‘eye-trace’ — the concern with the location and movement of the audience’s focus of interest at any one moment.
5. Two-dimensional plane of screen (6%) – It respects ‘planarity’ - the grammar of three dimensions transposed by photography to two (the questions of stage-line)
6. Three-dimensional space of action (4%) – It respects the three-dimensional continuity of the actual space (where people are in the room and in relation to one another).
