Lectures

Week 1: Asynchronous Study

Shot size

[ The amount of space that is visible within a single shot or frame ]

- Different shot sizes can convey different types of information or create different emotional effects

- A close-up shot shows a small area of the scene in great detail and is often used to emphasise a character's emotions or reactions

- A wide shot shows a larger area of the scene and is often used to establish the setting or context.
