Shot Framing

 What are the key differences between full, medium and close up shots?  How does this apply to over the shoulder shots?  Two shots?  How do different lenses affect these shots?

    When doing  full body shot it is important to make sure you aren't cutting off any part of your subject, a medium shot is when you frame your subject from the waist up allowing yourself to cut off part of your subject. With a close up shot that goes from the best up cutting off majority of your subject besides the face. When it comes to over the shoulder shots you can apply these types of shots when framing the subject that is in front of the shoulder. All of these could be applied with a two shots too when framing both subjects standing parallel to each other. Different lenses with provide different affects when framing those shots such as, defining your subject when using a wide angel lens but that also puts the background in focus too, with a 100mm lens if blurs the background more because of the aperture. Lenses will change the perspective of your shots.
