12. Establishing Shot : A shot, normally taken from a distance that establishes where the action is about to occur. A film will often begin with an establishing shot. Close-up : A shot taken at close range, sometimes only inches away from a subject’s face, an object, or some other item of significance, used to focus attention on this particular item.
