Plan

Definition: A shot is a continuous shot. There are several types of shot: the general shot to film the dance in its entirety; the long shot to better focus on the characters; the half-set shot centered on the characters; the medium shot offering a full-length framing of the character; the American shot (called “Western”) frames the character’s bust; the tight shot at the level of the character’s shoulders; the close-up (or “close-up”) is a zoom in on a part of the body (the head); the extreme close-up is an even greater zoom (the gaze); the high-angle shot is a view tilted from top to bottom; and finally the low-angle shot is a view tilted from bottom to top.
