6 Shot system
The purpose of the 6 shot system is to establish the setting and what the subject is doing and to also get some angles that are pleasing to the viewers
The 6 shots are:
Extra wide: a shot that has whole object of interest in it plus an establishing shot to show where the scene takes place.
Wide: A closer shot of the full object to see what is the object doing or what is it.
Medium: shot above the waist if its a person
Over the shoulder: To get a look like its almost them looking at it not the camera also to show what is happening with their hands or what they are doing
Close up of hands: to establish after the OTS to show the audience what is happening and to also give an sequence event.
Close up of face: To show the persons emotion of what they are doing.
A big rule for doing this is you can not go over 180 degrees which means if you start at the front of her you can only go to 180 degrees of her body either right i=or left if you do more than 180 like 360 it confuses the viewer and they don't know whats going on.
