Three Shot Sequences

In filming, Filmer's use a technique called Three Shot Sequences. This technique gives interest to the viewer when watching the film while visually describing the action. It is what gives different shots of the subject. The different shots are: Wide, Medium, and Close-up/ Extreme Close-up. A wide shot is a view of the entire area the subject is in, showing the background, what is next to the subject, and the subject itself. Medium shots don't show as much as a wide shot, although  it still shows a little bit of what is happening around the subject. A close-up is basically just showing the subject from only the area that the action is occurring in. Extreme close-up's are just another way of showing a close-up, but more zoomed on the actual action; this gives the viewer more detail of the action, it lets the viewer feel what is happening. The Three Shot Sequence technique is used in pretty much every film. Below is an example of what Three Shot Sequencing looks like.
