Closeups and Long Shots - By Brian Ratty. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | For example, a long shot of a baby could be taken from a distance of approximately ten feet; yet if a tall building were photographed at a distance of ten feet, it would not be a long shot, but a close-up. |
 | | The close-up is the specific, the dramatic shot; the long shot is the general, the establishing shot. |
 | | The long shot may be used to preserve a sense of mystery, create a general atmosphere, establish a broad location or setting, indicate the total action, or simply summarize. |
