The 7 camera shots

Extreme long/wide shot (ELS/EWS)

Make subjects appear small against their location and feel overwhelmed by it. It usually emphasizes the location or the feeling of isolation. In the picture below, the shot shows the location of the subject, which is being laid on a table.

Long/wide shot (LS/WS)

Also called a wide shot, is when the subject is in view but not filling the shot, this allows viewers to see the environment and the connection between them and the subject. As shown below, the box is likely a food item as it is put on the table.

Medium long/wide shot (cowboy shot)

In this shot, it reveals the surrounding of the subject but further emphasize the subject itself. Usually, when taken with a character, it is called a cowboy shot as it is filmed from the knees of the character. In the photo below, it is easy to recognize that it is a chocolate box that is located on the table.

Medium shot (MS)

This shot gets closer to the subject, showing more of the subject's features but still keeping a distance from it. As said, much more of the chocolate box details are revealed in this shot.

Medium close-up (MCU)

Even though a lot of the subject's details are shown, the subject is still kept somewhat a distance and does not fill all the frames.

Close up (CU)

This shot fills the frame with the subject, showing clearly the details of it. When applied to scenes with a character, it reveals the character's emotions and reactions.

Extreme close up (ECU)

This is the most you can fill a frame with your subject. Usually, with a character, it shows eyes, mouth, and gun triggers but for an object like the chocolate box below, the name and designs of the packaging are shown.
