6 Shot System





How to: 6 Shot System 


The 6-shot system is an easy way to display someone or something doing anything in a visually interesting way. While filming the 6-shot system make sure to follow the 180 rule(only getting shots from one side/angle of the subject). 6-Shot system creates a unique sequence.

  • Close up of Hands- Shows a close up of what the subject is doing.
  • Close up of face- Shows emotion and who or what the subject is. Close up shots are often most visually interesting for a viewer.
  • Medium shot- Allows some of the background to be seen. This shot should show the subject from waist to head.
  • Wide shot- Subjects whole body takes up the frame. The shot should fully explain what the subject is doing.
  • Over the shoulder shot- Shows the subjects point of view. Gives the viewer a different perspective of the situation. This shot should be done by putting the camera over the shoulder of the subject.
  • Extra wide shot- Establishes the enviroment and what is going on. The subject should be visible but the not the focus of the shot. This could be a shot showing the entire classroom from an extra wide angle.
