6 Shot Sequence

6 Shot Sequence:
Extra Wide Shot: Sets the scene including the character but the scene is the priority and the character is small compared to the shot.
Wide Shot: Head to toe shot of the character.
Extra Close Up: Shot of the character's hands to show what they are doing.
Close Up: Head shot and the purpose is to show the character's expression.
Medium Shot: Hip/waist up to show an action.
Over The Shoulder: Shot directly over the character's shoulder to show what they are doing or what they have done.


Over the course of the 6 Shot Sequence, I have learned how to express a video in a less boring and in many different views, showing the action and the video but without boring the viewer. I also learned how to use each of the 6 shots to express different actions. Applying these 6 shots can help me create a more exciting scene instead of a one shot sequence through out the video.
