BASIC SCENE STRUCTURE
It is clear from the discussion of shots and other resources that where the camera is placed in relation to the scene plays a central role in guiding how the viewer interprets character and action. A long shot of a character responding to something for example, does not draw us in as persuasively as the same response in a closer shot. The sequence of long shot/ medium shot/ close-up (LS-MS-CU) represents a process of moving closer to the action, of moving from a random view to much more specific information.
