Camera shots, Angles, Movement and Composition

Establishing shot: to show where the scene is set
Close up Shot: allows the audience to see the emotions of the character in more depth so the an connect to the character to creat an emotion e.g. Sympathy 
Mid- shot: used to get a better look at the character, close enough to see their emotion and far enough to see their body language. 
Long Shot: to show the entire person, and their surroundings 
Wide Shot: positioned to observe the most action in the performance. 
Two- shot: positioned to observe two characters 
Aerial Shot: usually done with a crane to view large landscapes. 

Point of View Shot: used to allow the audience to see what the character can see/see from the point of view of the character 
Over the Shoulder Shot: a shot of someone taken from the perspective or smear angle from the shoulder of another person
High Angle Shot: used to make a character look smaller and weaker 
Low angle shot: used to make the character look more powerful and strong 
Canted angle: when the camera is deliberately tilted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to portray unease, distortion or desperate action, madness etc
