Long shot (LS) - a shot that shows all of a fairly large subject (such as a person) and usually much of the surroundings.

Extreme long shot (ELS) - is a shot that is sometimes used as an establishing shot. This is because the camera is at its further distance from the subject, emphasising the background and also reducing the importance of the subject.

Establishing shot (ES) - defines the location and gives the audience a perspective on the action that is to follow. Also they are often essential to defining a genre.

Master shot (MS) - are similar to establishing shots and are used at the beginning of sequences, as a reference point for the rest of the sequence to follow.

Medium long shot (MLS) - is when the lower frame line cuts off an actor’s feet and ankles and permits a balance between the subject and surrounding.

Medium shot (MS) - is when the camera frames the actor from the waist up.

Close up (CU) - shows a fairly small part of the scene and emphasises on something, such as a characters face and neck in detail that it fills the screen.

Extreme close up (ECU) - singles out a portion of the face isolates detail and magnifies the minute.

Tracking back- tends to divert attention to the edges of the screen and the speed of tracking may affect the viewer’s mood.

Pan- the camera moves from left to right or right to left to follow a moving subject.

Whip pan- is when a very fast pan causes the subject to blur.

Handheld camera- is used to produce a jerky, bouncy, unsteady image, which can create a sense of immediacy or chaos.

Steadicam- a handheld camera worn as a kind of harness. It uses a gyroscope system to ensure the camera remains perfectly level and smooth as the camera moves.

Tilt shot- is where the camera moves up and down or down and up from a fixed axis.

Crane shot- a camera is mounted on a crane and it moves around at a distance above ground level and it can move up or down.

Rolling shot- A camera moves diagonally, which makes the image askew (often used to show that a character is drugged/ drunk).

Aerial shot- is where the camera looks down on something and it is like a birds eye view shot.
