Formality of address
Modes of address differ in their formality or social distance. Following Edward T Hall, a distinction is often made between 'intimate', 'personal', 'social' and 'public' (or 'impersonal') modes of address. In camerawork this is reflected in shot sizes - close-ups signifying intimate or personal modes, medium shots a social mode and long shots an impersonal mode.
