6 Shot Sequence

The 6-Shot-Sequence is a sequence commonly used in film-making. It is comprised of Extra Close-Ups (usually a zoomed shot to show motion of hands or feet), Close-Ups (zoomed in shots to emphasize things like emotion or action), Medium Shots (often shots of a figure that depict the waist-up of the figure), Wide Shots (shots to show a large amount of the scene), and Extra Wide Shots (shots that show the full scene or setting). By using these shots and editing in Final Cut Pro, I was able to learn what shots are meant to follow each other. In my next project, I will certainly use the 6 Shot Sequence, as it is a practice previously unknown to me.
