The 6 shot system

The six shot system is a way or sequence of pictures/ clips to show what a person in doing by showing their emotion, action, setting, and the view of what they see. These shots do not have to be in order. 


1.) Close-up of hands: Shows what the person being filmed is doing. It also shows action.








2.) Close-up of face: Shows emotion or how the person feels/ thinks of what he or she is doing.








3.) Over the shoulder: Shows what the person is doing/ from their perspective.

 4.) Medium shot: Ties together what the person is doing/ seeing, how he or she feels, and what they are looking at.







5.) Wide shot: Shows the person's whole body. Head to toe.








6.) Extra wide shot: Shows the setting that the person is in.
