Talking about different shot sizes with Adam

Today I had Media Studies and in my lesson we discussed everything about basic Shot Sizes and how to identify a shot. There are several different shots I learnt including...

• Big close-up (BCU)
• Mid shot (MS)
• Wide shot (WS)
• Point Of View (POV)
• Close-up or close-shot (CU)
• Medium close-up (MCU)
• Long shot (LS)
• Over the shoulder (O/S)
• Two shot, three shot (2/5, 3/5) etc.
• High angle
• Low angle

We studied a film called Pleasantville, and every different shot, Adam would pause it and we had to analyse the shot and write down what we thought it was; this would help us to become more familiar with each shot; so that we can use them in our own work for future reference.
