The Picture Story

As Jason keep rightly reiterating, there are several structural must haves when it comes to any picture story. These are as follows:

• The hook shot
• The establishing shot
• The medium/ environmental shot
• The detail/ close-Up shot
• The portrait shot
• The gesture/ exchange shot
• The closing shot

It is very important when considering each shot for the set of final photographs, so that the story flows well and can be read easily by the viewer. It is not to say that the above guide cant be added to or adapted because it can and in many circumstances it often is.
