          The six shot system is basically the six different shots you can use to shoot a film. 50% of all shots should be close ups or extreme close ups.

An extreme wide shot/establishing shot is what typically gives the viewer the location of the film.

 

A wide shot shows the entire object or human figure.

Medium shots show the figure waist up.

 Close ups show the figure shoulders up.

Extreme close ups show just a certain part of a figure.

Over the shoulder shots (pretty self explanatory) are shot over the figure's shoulder.
