Establishing Shot

Mid Shot

Close up

Extreme Close Up
The shot is so tight that only a detail of the subject, such as someone's eyes, can be seen.
POV Shot

Over The Shoulder Shot
an over the shoulder shot (also over shoulder, ab tu, OTS, or third-person shot) is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person.
Bird’s Eye View
A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird
Low Angle
a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Sometimes, it is even directly below the subject's feet.
High Angle
A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up." High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.
Tracking
A tracking shot is any shot where the camera moves alongside the object(s) it is recording.
Panning
One of the simplest and most common movements is to turn, or pan (from the word panorama), the camera horizontally so that it sweeps around the scene. It can also be tilted up or down in a vertical panning shot or in a diagonal pan,
Zoom
Zooming in filmmaking and television production refers to the technique of changing the focal length of a zoom lens
Fade
A film transition is a technique used in the post-production process of film editing and video editing by which scenes or shots are combined.
Wipe
A wipe is a type of film transition where one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape.
