Sequence Example from CNN

This clip starts with an interview, but then jumps right into several tight shots. The first tight shot in the sequence that I am referring to runs from :11 to :13. It doesn't feature much movement, but rather pinpoints something that the man in the interview was talking about while the reporter speaks over the footage.

In the next shot, the medium shot, the viewer joins the interviewee on the phone. The view is close enough to him that we have a good view of him and the tension on his face. This shot lasts from about :14 to :21 as we listen in on a phone conversation that the interviewee, Chuck Lane, is having about credit card pay

For the wide shot, the camera moves back a bit so that we can now see Mr. Lane's computer and desk, where he is moving some papers around (likely the ones we saw in the tight shot). In this shot, he is still on the phone, but the viewer isn't listening to his conversation anymore. This shot lasts from :22 to :30 while the reporter narrates and provides an overview of what is going on, and leads into how it is news, without the viewer having to listen to an entire conversation that this man is having on the phone.
