Task 4 - Camera Shots and Camera Movement

XLS/ELS -  This is an extreme long shot, it includes all the surroundings to the scene which is to be shown. It would be used at the beginning of a scene to set the scene for the audience.

LS - This is a long shot, this is a head to toe shot within the scene. A long shot would be used to identify the character and show where they fit into the scene.

MS - This is a mid-shot, this shows the subject in more detail (generally torso upwards) and is used to give the audience a better impression of the character.

CU - A close up is often just of the characters face to help the audience understand the emotion of the character, however they can also be used to show closer detail of other things in the shot.

XCU - Below is an example of an extreme close up, this may be done to show very significant detail in a shot, like someone crying.

Two Shot - This is a shot with two people in, this makes it possible for an image or video to have a dialogue or to show the audience the relationship between two people.
