Medium shot

1. Medium shot - A medium shot is when the subject is a medium distance away from the camera, and some of the background is visible. This shot would be used to show more detail on the subject in the foreground and for information from characters to be delivered without emotion needed to be felt by the audience.

2. Long shot - A long shot is where the whole subject is usually seen and a lot of background space is visible. This shot would be used to show the surroundings to give a sense of the place and show characters in full view.

3.Extreme long shot/establishing shot- This shot consists of mainly the surroundings therefore the subject is usually not even visible. This shot is purely to show the surroundings/place. This shot can also be used if the contents of a sequence is very widely spread out.
