Basic shot types

(EWS)Extreme wide shot:
 (EWS)Extreme wide shots like that are usually used as establishing shots. They set up a scene's setting, and show the location where it happenns. Sometimes they can also show famous landmarks to refer to a particular city, or panoramic views to refer to a particular part of the world. They can also be used to create a certain atmosphere. Establishing shots often dont focus our attention on a particular subject, but show us the environment it is in.

 A long shot would be farther away from the space means that there will be more space between the subjects (women and Telescope)

 A full shot would be like a full body shot of a person, or object (showing all of the person or object).
