Establishing Shot:
This is used to show the location/place/set. "establishing" the surroundings.



LongShot:
typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.



Medium Shot:
A full-length view of a human, showing no lower body, all above waist.



Medium Close-up Shot:
The medium closeup is between a medium shot and a close up. This shows the face clearly, without getting too close.



Close-up Shot:
Usually framing the face, the close up shot is useful for showing detail.



Extreme Close-up Shot:
This is used to get right in to the subject, and show extreme detail.






My Photography:
When I take my photograph for my College Magazine, I will use a Medium Close-Up Shot to stick to the brief.
