Shot variation is a technique were the director will use many shot sizes during a scene to give more meaning to the story, for example a close up will show emotion more a long shot will establish what characters are in the scene and a wide shot will show the environment that the characters are in.
An example of this is one of the ending scenes for the matrix where the main character is on the roof of a building, during the scene many shot sizes were used through out. A close up to show the faces and emotions of the main character as he couldn't effect the enemy, a medium shot as the main character was getting shot at to show all the danger around him and a wide shot of the enemy being killed to show his full death as he falls to the floor.
