Extreme Close Up - This shot is done to portray characters emotions and facial expressions and to emphasis what is happening in the scene, following their eyes, judging what is happening within the scene, this also looks with a pan shot, as the pan scans the room, you could then cut to an extreme close up of the characters eyes following it.
Wide Shot - This is used to allow the audience to clearly see the character and their surroundings, this could also link with an establishing shot as it can show to the audience where the characters are.
Pan - The Pan is used to show to the audience the surroundings of a character, for instance, in a room, the camera can pan along the whole area of the room, to capture all of the objects and subjects within it.
The 180 degree rule - This is done to ensure that the continuity of the scene is correct, so it links with the rest of the story and so the audience can follow it easily, by breaking the 180 degree rule, you are not allowing the audience to fully understand the situation of a character within a scene, it could be broken by shooting different shots of the same thing, such as one close up and one mid shot, the character must be in the same position to allow the story to flow.
Building a sequence of Shots - By doing this, it links different scenes together, this means by showing a mid shot followed by a close up at the same time, showing the same events from a different shot type, this allows a story to be told, linking the different shots, showing the events form a different shot. It builds up a continuing sequence.
Blocking (intimate and distance) This allows the audience to understand the relationship of certain characters towards each other, by the way the have been placed in the scene, if they are place together, standing next to each other, it shows that they are close, whereas if they were standing far away from each other within the same scene, they would be classed as not being close. If it is too characters moving closer towards each other, it shows to the audience that a relationship is being built, allowing the audience to follow it and start to feel emotion towards the character.
Shot types - Close ups are used to show the audience suspense of a character, creating dramatic effect and mystery for the audience.
A long shot shot is done to establish a background and to show the audience where the characters currently are, quite similar to a Master Shot.
Lead Room - For any dramatic energy to be directed at.
Head Room - This is done to show the shot of the character and not cutting some of their head out of the shot, it is done to see the full shot.
Dead Space - allowing the character too much head room.
The master shot shows everything within a scene, by showing all of the characters in the scene, next to there current environment and background, by doing this it establishes to the audience where the characters are. The master shot is important to shoot first as it is the main shot, because it explains to the audience where the characters are
