Extreme Close Up (ECU)
• Extends from just above the top of the head and includes top of the shoulders
• Does not include chest
• Do not cut off the subject at the neck, results in a unattractive “floating head”
• Often used to show a subject’s emotions and reactions
• Includes very limited setting/background visual information
Medium Close Up (MCU)
• Extends from above the head to just above or below the waist - do not cut off at the waist
• Often called a “waist up” shot in live TV
• Our view of a person during normal conversation
• Shows actions by the subject that occur above the waist
• "Wide" enough to include setting/background visual information
Medium Wide Shot (MWS)
• Extends from above the head to mid-thigh - do not cut off at knees
• Also known in industry as the “3/4” shot or “Cowboy" shot
• Reveals significant setting/background visual information
• Useful for showing larger gestures by a subject or shows them holding an object
• Effective to show a small group of people
