SHOT TYPES

Extreme long shot - is a view from an even greater distance, in which people appear as small dots in the landscape if at all (eg. a shot of New York's skyline). 

Close Up - A photograph or film image taken at close range and showing the subject on a large scale. 

Medium Shot - mid shot (MS), or waist shot is a camera angle shot from a medium distance. 

Long Shot Definition - In photography, filmmaking and video production, a long shot (sometimes referred to as a full shot or a wide shot) typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. A long shot is often used to set the scene in a film. 
( Example at 3:35 - 4:22)

Wide Shot - In the wide shot, the subject takes up the full frame. 

Two shot - a type of shot in which the frame encompasses a view of two people.






Aerial shot - A shot taken from an airborne device, generally while moving. Backlighting (lighting design) The main source of light is behind the subject, silhouetting it, and directed toward the camera.






A point of view shot (also known as POV shot, First-person shot or a subjective camera) is a short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera)  







Over the shoulder shot - a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person.
