| Establishing Shot. |
In film, a camera shot that establishes a scene, often as a long shot.
 |
| Master Shot |
A master shot is a film recording of an entire dramatized scene, from start to finish, from an angle that keeps all the players in view.
 |
| Close Up |
A photograph, movie, or video taken at close range and showing the subject on a large scale.
 |
| Mid-Shot |
In film, a medium shot is a camera shot from a medium distance. The difference between a "long shot" and a "medium shot" is fuzzy, as is the difference between a "meduim shot" and a "close up".
A photograph or a film or television shot in which the subject is shown at a relatively small scale; from head to foot.
A video or film recording made with the camera positioned to observe the most action in the performance.
A movie or film shot of two people in the frame.
Aerial shots are usually done with a crane or with a camera attached to a special helicopter to view large landscapes. It's a shot taken in the air of the location directly below (building, fields etc).
A subjective camera angle that becomes the perspective of a character. We look at the world through his or her eyes.
Over-the-shoulder shot is a close-up of a character as seen over-the-shoulder of another person in the foreground.
Angles:
The camera is placed above eye level, looking downward. A high angle shot can make a character look smaller, younger, weak, confused, or more childlike.
The camera is placed below eye level, looking upward. A low angle shot can make a character look bigger, stronger, or more noble. It also gives the impression of height.
A camera angle which is deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to help portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.

| Long-Shot |
A photograph or a film or television shot in which the subject is shown at a relatively small scale; from head to foot.
 |
| Wide Shot |
A video or film recording made with the camera positioned to observe the most action in the performance.
 |
| Two-Shot |
A movie or film shot of two people in the frame.
 |
| Aerial Shot |
Aerial shots are usually done with a crane or with a camera attached to a special helicopter to view large landscapes. It's a shot taken in the air of the location directly below (building, fields etc).
 |
| Point of View Shot |
A subjective camera angle that becomes the perspective of a character. We look at the world through his or her eyes.
 |
| Over the Shoulder |
Over-the-shoulder shot is a close-up of a character as seen over-the-shoulder of another person in the foreground.
Angles:
 |
| High Angle |
The camera is placed above eye level, looking downward. A high angle shot can make a character look smaller, younger, weak, confused, or more childlike.
 |
| Low Angle |
The camera is placed below eye level, looking upward. A low angle shot can make a character look bigger, stronger, or more noble. It also gives the impression of height.
 |
| Canted Angle |
A camera angle which is deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to help portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.
Movement:
 |
| Tilt |
The camera rotates to aim upward or downward without changing the location. Tilt is sometimes called "pitch".
 |
| Dolly/Track Shot |
The camera's actual position changes, such as to move alongside a moving subject or to travel closer to a character during a scene. 'Dolly in' moves the camera closer to the subject. 'Dolly out' backs the camera away from the subject. 'Dolly in' and 'dolly out' are sometime called "track".
 |
| Crane Shot |
A high shot taken from a special device called a crane.
 |
| Zoom Lenses |
Shot which moves closer to, or away from, the subject using the lens rather than moving the whole camera in or out.
Composition:
 |
| Depth of Field |
The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.
Deep: a 'stopped down' lens creates a large depth of field.
Shallow: an 'open' lense creates a shallow depth of field.
