Post 2: Storyboard Drawing, Shot Sizes and Framing. Continued

 Long Shot: This shot used for showing not only a character in his full stature built also for showing his surroundings. For example if the director wants an emphasis on the mise-en-scene in a certain shot he may choose to use this camera angle.
Medium Long Shot: This shot is used to show the character in his full profile whilst also allowing for some space to see the mise-en-scene.
3/4 Shot: This shot is used for showing the characters body and could also be used to show an emphasis on a characters body language.
Medium Shot: This shot is used in a similar way to the 3/4 shot but with more of an emphasis on the characters face.
Medium Close Up: This shot is used for when the director wants a deeper emphasis on the actors face and also what he is saying.
Close Up: This shot is similar to the medium close up but shows more of an emphasis on the characters face.
Extreme Close Up: This shot is used for showing emotion on a characters face, although it could also be used to show the importance of a certain object.

Establishing Shot: This shot is used to introduce a new location that is of significance, for example a director may choose to use this shot when he is showing the audience where a character lives.
