Medium shot
- [Instructor] Taking our imaginary camera and moving even closer into the personal space of our characters, we find ourselves at medium shots. Here in medium shots, we're likely to lose some indications of the background and the setting other than maybe the color or lighting because we really want to focus on our characters and whatever it is they are doing. If the full shot was about what's happening, then the medium shot is about reacting to what's happening. These are typically waist up crops of our characters focusing more on the face and their upper torsos, and it allows us to see more of their emotion or mannerisms in something like a conversation or maybe a piece of action where they're shaking someone back to consciousness, or maybe just a slight expression on some character's face that the other character isn't seeing, but we as the reader are. Speaking of emphasizing something specifically for the reader, let's move on to close ups.
