TV Production

Shots

There are four types of shots used in video production. All TV shows are just combinations of these four shots put in order to make sequences.

A long shot allows your audience to see everything. It shows the big picture.

This shot gets rid of any distractions in the picture and starts the process of zeroing in on the action.

This shot cuts out extraneous visual material. Faces should fill up most of the screen.

Use this shot to focus attention on what's important. It enlarges small objects to show details.
