Camera Shots & Moves.

CU - Close up.
These are usually only used to either show a subject's reaction, or show the audience/viewers a prop of some sort.



MCU - Medium close up.
Whereby everything from the subject's waist to head is in frame.



MS - Mid-shot. (One shot)
Shows only one contestant/talent at a time. This is usually used to show the host, but is sometimes used on contestants.

WS - Wide shot.
These are used for an establishing shot at the beginning of a programme, which shows the viewers the whole studio (audience, guests, host, set, cameras on studio floor). This is also can be used as a 'safety shot' in case other camera shots are not ready or are sorting a technical problem. Programmes also normally end with such shot.

2S - Two shot.
Used to show 2 guests or contestants, as an MCU.
