One of the most important factors to consider when framing a shot is the number of subjects that will be featured in it, as well as their physical positions in relation to one another and the camera. These considerations can greatly affect the overall composition and emotional impact of the shot.

Different types of framing

1. Single / One Shot
2. Two Shot
3. Group Shot
4. Over the Shoulder (OTS)
5. Point of View (POV)

1. Single / One Shot: This shot features a single subject, usually their face or a specific detail. It is often used to convey the character’s emotions and reactions, and to emphasize their importance in the scene. The camera typically focuses on the subject’s face, allowing the audience to see their expressions and reactions.
2. Two Shot: This shot frames two subjects together, typically in a conversation. It can be used to show the relationship between the two characters and their reactions to each other. The camera usually frames both subjects in the shot, with the focus often shifting back and forth between them as they speak.
3. Group Shot: This shot includes three or more subjects, often arranged in a specific formation. It can be used to show the group’s dynamic and relationships, and to emphasize the importance of each member. The camera may focus on one or more specific members of the group, or show them all together in a wide shot.
4. Over the Shoulder (OTS): This shot frames the subject from behind another person’s shoulder, often used in conversation scenes. It can be used to show the point of view of the character listening to the conversation, and to provide context for the scene. The camera typically shows both the subject and the person they are talking to, with the focus shifting between them as the conversation progresses.
5. Point of View (POV): This shot represents what the character is seeing, as if the camera is the character’s eyes. It is often used to show the character’s perspective and can help the audience connect with the character’s experience. The camera usually shows the character’s hands and any objects they interact with, as well as their surroundings from their point of view. This shot can be especially effective for immersive experiences, such as in virtual reality.

Overall, the choice of camera shot type depends on the story being told and the intended emotional effect of the shot.
