Three Shot Sequence

Three Shot Sequence is an essential part in good movie making. The three shot types are wide, medium, and close-up. The wide shot is used to show the area and environment around the subject. Then the medium shot will provide more detail of the scene and gets closer to the subject. Usually medium shots are shown to give the viewer a general overview. Next the close-up is used, this is where your camera should be close to the subject and get details that couldn't be seen in the medium and wide shots. Sequencing is very important, different shots are telling the same story in a different perspective; this keeps the viewer interested.
