Three Shot Sequences



Sequencing is an arrangement of clips, that displays an action that is happening, using different shot types and angles. For an example, kicking a soccer ball can have a three shot sequence; a ball sitting on the field, then a person running to kick the ball, then a shot of the ball being kicked. Sequencing has four types of shots, Wide, Medium, Close, and Extreme close. A three shot sequence does not always have to be Wide, Medium, Close. It can be Wide, Close, Extreme. A sequence that isn't allowed is Wide, Extreme, Medium because you can't go backwards.

Wide shot- Any view as long as there is no parts cut off of the subject, you can see their feet and the top of their head.
Medium shot- This shot is slightly closer to the subject that the Wide, some parts of the subject can be cut off, but the camera is far enough away so that you can still see most of the subject.
Close shot- The Close shot displays a small part of the subject
Extreme shot- The Extreme shot is of a very small detail on something, whether it is of the subject or the action that the subject is doing.
