Medium Shot:- In film, a medium shot is a camera angle shot from a medium distance. In some cases, a full-length view of someone is called a medium shot; in this terminology, a shot of the person from the knees up or the waist up is a close-up shot. In other texts, these partial views are called medium shots. For example, in Europe a medium shot is framed from the waist up. It is mainly used for a scene when you can see what kind of expressions they are using.

















Long Short:- A long shot typically shows the entire object or person and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. It has been suggested that long-shot ranges approximately what would be the distance between the front row of the audience and the stage in live theatre.















Establishing Shot:- An establishing shot in film making establishes the context for a scene by showing the relationship between its important figures and objects. It is generally a long- or extreme-long shot at the beginning of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place.












Medium Long Shot:- A Medium Long shot usually shows most of a person, typically head to knees. This gives you the opportunity to show some of the environment, but also allow multiple people to easily interact.

Dutch Tilt:- Used to portray the uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed. A Dutch tilt is achieved by tilting the camera off to the side so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame.

Tilt Up and Tilt Down:- You follow a subject or to show the top and bottom of a stationary object. With a tilt, you can also show how high something is or how low.

Crane:- This works and looks similar to a construction crane. It is used for high sweeping shots or to follow the action of the person or thing you are shooting.

Zoom:- Zooming the lens out gives you the wide-angle shot and more of your subject and surrounding areas are visible. Depth perception is also changed, and the size and distance between objects is more pronounced.To bring objects at a distance closer to the lens, or to show size and perspective.

Dolly:- This designed to create smooth camera movements. The camera is mounted to the dolly and the camera operator and focus puller or camera assistant, usually ride on the dolly to operate the camera.

Tracking:- The tracking shot may also refer to any shot in which the camera follows a subject within the frame, such as a moving actor or a moving vehicle. The camera may be moved in ways not involving a camera dolly.

Handheld:- The camera is held in the hand, or given the appearance of being hand-held, and in many cases shots are limited to what one photographer could have accomplished with one camera. It suggests unprepared, unrehearsed filming of reality, and can provide a sense of dynamics, immersion, instability or nervousness.

Birds eye:- A bird's-eye shot refers to a shot looking directly down on the subject. The perspective is very foreshortened, making the subject appear short and squat. This shot can be used to give an overall establishing shot of a scene, or to emphasise the smallness or insignificance of the subjects.
