Shot Composition - The Basics
Medium Shot (LS)

The Medium Shot (MS) is a middle ground framing, where the shot becomes more subjective than objective. With the framing being tighter to the conversation, the audience is becoming more emotionally involved with the drama, as subtle performances and reactions can be seen in the characters. In this particular example, this Medium Shot (MS) setup is called a TWO SHOT which is a good framing to establish a relationship between characters.
