The term 'Shot type" refers to the distance from camera to subject matter within the frame.
Shot types relate to the way that humans instinctively react to visual information.
We identify with the lens.
For example: Close -ups imply that the subject is very significant, just as someone or something would seem if it were dominating our field of vision in every day life.

They can:
Communicate a state of mind of the character.
Elicit an emotional response from the viewer.
Shape the information and the way in which the story is being told.
