Medium Shot

What Happens In Vages

The medium shot is having two or more characters in one shot, this shot is mainly for dialogue so we can focus in on what the characters are saying as this may be significant. In some cases the medium shot can be used as a action scene so the viewers can see more of what is happening in a scene. This example is from a film called "What Happens In Vegas". One of the main characters Cameron Diaz is showing action by popping open a champagne bottle, this could be significant through out the rest of the film. This shot contains one or more characters that only have the shot from head to toe. This is to have greater detail to what they are talking about or what is happening.
