Camera Shots

Two Shot -  This is used to create a spatial relationship between two characters. Facial expressions, reactions and body language are all conveyed in this shot so that the audience is aware of relationships between characters.

Camera Shot

Aerial Shot  - This is a variation of a crane shot, which is usually taken from a helicopter. This is often used at the beginning f a TV drama to show the setting and movement. The beginning of this video shows an Aerial Shot being used.

Establishing Shot (ES) - This is usually a long shot or a extreme long shot used to set the scene at the beginning of a film/TV drama. Usually shows the setting

Camera Shots
