Basic Shots Assignment



Three or Four Shots Each of a particular event or environment:

Long / Wide Shot - environment dominates, establishes the scene.
Medium Shot - emphasizes subject in their environment, more or less equal importance of subject & context.
Close Up - face details, personal
Pan / Follow - Follow a person or object, keeping them in frame for the duration of the shot 3-15 seconds, more or less.

And here's a (pretty bad) site with some reference info and images. And here's another page with shot types and framing 101 info. May be slightly useful.
