The main subject is often not visible but may be heard in a voiceover during this scene. WIDE SHOT This shot is used to establish the main subject (in this case the boy) within a location that helps to create context. the main subject should always be framed so that their head and feet are within the frame and with equal distance from the top and bottom edges of the viewable frame. MID SHOT This shot is used to create a sense of familiarity with the subject. It should be used when the dialogue given is not emotionally charged and closer to a neutral tone. This also mirrors the vantage point most of us have when engaged in standing conversation. This format is widely used in newcasts of reporters. MEDIUM CLOSE UP This shot is used when a more emotional response is required or expected. It allows the viewer to more clearly see the subject and to establish a link with their facial expressions.
