There are seven main shot sizes used thoughout media and film, extreme close up, close up, medium close up, three quater shot (3/4 shot), medium long shot, long shot and medium shot.
Here I have scaned in my drawings of the different shot sizes of which I used as a plan for taking photographs using the digital camera.
Here I have taken photos of a class mate (Chloe Stockman) to show the different techniques and shot sizes in action. Each shot size is used to help create different effects. These shots are a key basis to photography, media and the film industry as they are simple and effective shots and sizes.

After taking these photos using a digital camera I learnt that even though the person stays the same as the composition and as the size of each photograph changes it brings a different feel and depth to the piece, creating a different effect. So if I was trying to create an intense scene I would use the extreme close up as it is more powerful. and dramatic. Something I would improve when taking photographs again would be to not crop the feet out of the medium long shot.
