ECU An Extreme Close up is exactly what it sounds like it is an extreme close up where only a part of the subject is focused on extremely close, or it is where an object is extremely small.

WS A Wide shot shot is basically a scene that includes all of the subject in the frame, if we were using a person for example it would include the persons whole body in the frame, or for example it is a scene where as much of the setting is included in the shot.

MS A Mid Shot is where the subject is focused on but not too close up, this shot is typically used in scenes where people are talking or expressing emotion, this mid shot gives a feeling to the viewer that they are actually there in the scene.
