Give an example of where at least 3 of these shots were used in a film that you have watched and the effect on you as the viewer.

The close up: The use of the close up in this movie (The Guilty) is used as a realization shot, where the character realizes an important factor of the movie. This shot created tension and fear and it really shows the characters thoughts and emotions by getting up close to his face.

The extreme long shot: The extreme long shot in this film (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone) is used as an establishing shot, creating the world and scenery of the world. By doing this it created a sense of realism as it introduced us directly, showing us by using an extreme long shot.

The extreme close-up: An extreme close-up shot frames a subject very closely, often so much so that the outer portions of the subject are cut off by the edges of the frame. On an actor, this is commonly used to show specific portions of the body, like the face or hip, but it can go closer to show only an actor’s mouth, or even a single eye. In this shot the extreme close up is used to express the characters emotions without using dialogue.
