Below are my examples of shot sizes in the form
of a storyboard. A
director/ film maker will use a close up when someone is talking
so their mouth can be seen moving.
below I have use a camera to show
how the shots would look like.

I have researched 'the rule of thirds' and chosen a good
website that explains the rule of thirds.
http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds
below are photos that I have taken to illustrate the 'rule of thirds'. One of the photos will follow the
rules, while the other one won’t.

The guideline suggests that an image should be divided
into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two
equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should
be placed along these lines or in the intersections. Also above are the photos to show that cropping an image can be useful to make it follow the 'rule of thirds'.
Close up shots are to reveal the thoughts/emotions of the character. Long shots are to show the environment the character is in. These are often used first so the audience can gain their bearings.
