Panning shot: Panning is a camera movement where the camera will scan and follow a location whilst staying in the same spot. People often use tripods and turn them to create a steadier shot.
Establishing/Location shot: establishing and location shots indicate the setting a location of the scene, they generally are wide angle shots as well to create a sense of setting of the location.
High Angle Shot: high angle shots are elevated and tilted downwards towards the scene of action to create a smaller significance to the object/setting below.
Low Angle Shot: Low angle shots are tilted upwards below eye level. with the camera shooting up it creates a larger more sinister approach to a person or object so therefore is very regally used in horror films.
Close up shot: A close up shot involves much of the object or person in focus and there fore involves very little background and is mainly focused on particular object/person.
Long Shot: A long shot is a true to size photograph it can show a person or a whole scene.
Mid Shot: A mid shot only shows the characters waist and upwards. This shot are generally for dialogue scenes variations of there are; over the shoulder, two and three shots.
Two shot: A two shot is basically a shot containing two characters in. The shots are also used to show the emotional reactions between the subjects.
Extreme close up: Extreme close up is a magnified image of an object or person showing no background and extreme detail. These shots can be used for dramatic effect.
Worms eye view: Worms eye view is a shot where the camera literally is tilted straight upwards facing the sky, this shot is inevitably as though the observer where a worm. This shot is also the opposite of a birds eye view.
Birds 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. this is also the opposite of a worms eye view. These shots can be uses as location shots whilst panning from above.
