Basics of Photography
LEFT: Depth of field is limited in closeup photography. Focus on the most important part of the subject such as the eyes of this robber fly. This image
shows the depth of fieldat f/3.5. RIGHT: Here is the same image using f/19 for more depth of field.

Shots - Continued
• LS-long shot or FS (full shot). With people, this is a shot from the top of their heads to their feet..
• When applied to talent a MS is normally a shot from the waist up. (To save space we've used a vertical rather than a horizontal format in this illustration.)
• MCU (medium closeup) is a shot cropped between the shoulders and the belt line.
• A relatively straight-on CU (closeup)
• XCUs are extreme closeups. On people this type of shot is reserved for dramatic impact. XCU is often necessary to reveal important detail.
Lens- Angle of View
Lighting RatiosWith differences (in f-stops)
•1:1 - no difference (flat lighting)
•2:1 - One f-stop (for general color photography, videography)
•3:1 - One and two-thirds f-stops (for general black and white photography)
•4:1 - Two f-stops (for low-key dramatic effect)
•8:1 - Three f-stops (for a very low-key dramatic effect) Because of the video contrast range limitations, for ratios beyond this the
dark areas will probably just be rendered as black, without discernible detail.
