A single piece of film, uninterrupted by cuts

4. Long Shot (LS) A shot from some distance that shows the full body
It may suggest the isolation or vulnerability of the character
Allows us to see our characters and what they are doing in their environment 

5. Medium Shot (MS) Shows the person from the waist up

The image being shot is a part of the whole, such as an eye or a hand
 It keeps the audience informed about the story, the characters and the situation, up close, in detail, clear information-giver

8. Camera Angles

9. Eye Level A shot taken from a normal height (character’s eye level)
Most shots are eye level because it is the most natural angle

10. High Angle The camera is above the subject
Makes the subject look smaller than normal
Gives the character the appearance of being weak, powerless, or trapped

Has the effect of making the character look larger than normal, and therefore strong, powerful, or threatening
