I. Establishing Shots
Description: Wide-angle views that set the scene and provide context for the location.
Lighting/Background: Use natural light or balanced artificial light to capture the environment clearly, ensuring the background elements are relevant and not distracting.
II. Medium Shots
Description: Frames that capture the subject from the waist up, showing some background but focusing on the subject.
Lighting/Background: Use soft lighting to highlight the subject while maintaining a neutral or slightly blurred background to avoid distractions.
III. Close-Ups

Description: Tight shots of the subject's face or a specific detail, highlighting emotions or important elements.
Lighting/Background: Employ focused lighting to accentuate the subject and use a plain or softly blurred background to draw attention to the details.
IV. Over-the-Shoulder Shots
Description: Perspectives from behind a person, focusing on what they are looking at, often used in conversations.
Lighting/Background: Ensure balanced lighting to illuminate both the person and the focal point, with a background that provides context but does not overpower the main subjects.
V. Cutaways
Description: Shots that focus on details or reactions, often used to provide additional context or break up the main action.
Lighting/Background: Use appropriate lighting to highlight the detail or reaction, with a background that is complementary and non-distracting.
