Cinematography

Medium shot

Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.

Long shot

The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible.

Extreme long shot/ establishing shot
The view is so far from the subject that he isn't even visible. Often used as an establishing shot.

Medium long shot
The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing him in his environment.

Canted/ Dutch Tilt Shot

The camera angle is deliberately slanted to one side. This can be used for dramatic effect and helps portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.

Tilt

A tilt is a vertical camera movement in which the camera points up or down from a stationary location.

Tracking Shot

Shot in which the camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks.

Dolly Shot

A dolly is a cart which travels along tracks. The camera is mounted on the dolly and records the shot as it moves. Dolly shots can provide very dramatic footage.

Crane shot

A shot taken by a camera on a crane or jib. The most obvious uses are to view the actors from above or to move up and away from them, a common way of ending a movie.

Handheld

A camera is held in the camera operator's hands as opposed to being mounted on a tripod or other base.

 Ariel/ birds eye shot

A shot taken from a plane, helicopter or a person on top of a building. Not necessarily a moving shot.

 Zoom

The camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame. The effect is that the subject appears stationary while the background size changes.
