In a way to Simplify this title is to anyone who doesn't understand is that by what it means is that there are different types of shots to give off a different feel to the situation/scene. In other terms, what angle/zoom is the most important for the character or for the scene in general for that moment.
A great way to remember this whole method of filming.
is, "The size of any object in your frame should be proportional to its importance to the story at the moment". This quote/way of thinking alone helps instill the idea of what it means to shoot a scene. The whole idea of this procedure is like shooting someone cooking. There are two different endings, One, the cook is making something special for his/her partner (medium shots of the cook and their working area) another would be like a regular cooking show (medium shot of the ingredients, recipe and food being made).
So let's now dissect how we would convert the footage we have in order to give those story's life. Like said before with the zooming on what's in the scene. do we want it to be personal for the chef? if so let's make sure he is in the majority of the shots or give off the implication of what he is making is for instead of the fact he is even making it. The other is the cook show appeal where we use footage of just the food and the ingredients. now the scene has become less personal and is now just about the food and not the chef. This is practically how Hitchcock's rules work.
