Definitions

camera moving along rails to follow the subject (dolly shot)	A shot that usually shows from the waist up. Also called a medium shot.	moving the camera vertically up and down from a fixed position.	This is also called a long shot (LS) just barely includes the human body in full, with the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the bottom.
The camera is tilted sideways so that the world of the film seems to have tipped over (Use sparingly for effect)	A very fast pan between two or more characters or points of interest. -gives the impression the camera has been surprised by activity and is used in the place of a more conventional cut or shot/reverse shot. (Use sparingly)	A shot that is angled 90 degrees down... as if it was filmed from a bird flying over the subject being filmed.	moving the camera from right to left (or left to right) in a horizontal plane.
-The camera person films while walking. -This makes the shots seem quite shaky. -feel more realistic, or we are part of the action.	This shot can be used to provide a view from above the subject(s) - It is often used to make the subject look vulnerable, isolated or powerless.	-The camera approaches a subject from below eye level. -It can make the character shown seem big and powerful -it can make us or the character we are seeing through, seem small and weak.	A shot that magnifies beyond what the eye would experience in reality. Generally used for dramatic effect to see "inside" subject/action.
It is also called a wide shot. This shot introduces the setting and context for the action which is to follow.	-A shot that includes two people facing one another, over the shoulder of one. -Focuses upon one character and is often used to depict a conversation by cutting between both characters.	-concentrates attention on the character on screen when his/her role in the story is important. -can also highlight important details which might otherwise be missed.	It shows two characters in the frame, (usually cut together with close-ups)
