If there are more than three figures, the shot tends to become a long shot. Background detail is mostly minimal. It must be because as the location must had been used before in the film, etc.

Point-Of-View Shot

Point-of-view shot which is taken from the vantage point (a place or position affording a good view of something) of a character in the film. In this type of shot it is shown from the character's eye and this makes the viewer more interested in what will happen next or what is going to happen, in short creates a suspence for the audience.
