A long shot would usually shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surrounding area. A long shot is now often reffered to as a wide shot because of its use of a wide angle Lenz. When A long shot is used to set up a location and its objects/people, it is reffered to as an Establishing shot. This shot is what I will use to establish each setting that could be used shown in the video and how the character in the video reflects or opposes to the setting.
Mid shot Close-up/Medium Close-up
A Mid shot Close-up is halfway between a mid shot and a close up. It is usually used to cover the subjects head and shoulders. I could use this to show the character glances at something that causes an emotional response, and then move in to an extream close-up to really draw out the reaction to looking at something.
High angle shot
A high angle shot is usually when the camera is located above the eyeline.
With this type of angle, the camera looks down on the subject and the point of focus often get "swallowed up" by the setting. High angle shots also make the figure or object seem vulnerable or powerless. High angle shots are usually used in film to make the moment more dramatic or if there is someone at a high level that the character below is talking to. I could use this to show a challenge bigger than the character in terms of size, extent or importance.
