Shots. • Establishing shot: shows where the scene will be set.• Master shot: shows the limit of the action.• Close up: concentrates on one character, makes the reader learn more about this specific character.• Extreme close up: shows a important moment that all the other shots have been leading you to.

• Long shot: shows the whole character or characters from head to toe. Also used to show the scenery/background.

• Shot reverse shot: used to keep the conversation flowing, goes from one character to another to see their reaction.
