Low Angle

Eye Level
Shot taken with the camera approximately at human eye level, resulting in a neutral effect on the audience.

-
Extreme Close Up (ESU)
Emphasizes a small area or detail of the subject, such as the eye(s) or mouth.
-
Full Shot
Frames character from head to toes, with the subject roughly filling the frame (More toward action).
-
Establishing Shot (ES)
Usually the first shot of a scene, this is used to establish the location and environment.
Camera Movement
Zoom
Zooming is used to focus on a certain area in the frame and is commonly used to go from a long shot to a close-up of the subject you’re filming. It also lets you zoom out and move farther away from a subject in a shot.
Pan
When you pan, you’re moving your camera from left to right or vice versa, all while keeping the camera’s base fixated on a certain point. Though you’re not moving the camera, you’re changing the direction it’s facing and capturing a panoramic view.
Tilt
When you tilt a camera, you’re shifting the camera’s view up or down without changing its horizontal direction. Though the camera remains stationary, you have control over the angle it’s at.
Dolly
WHen using a Dolly movement, you’re moving the camera toward or away from a subject, often by placing it on a track or motorized vehicle. When you “dolly in,” the camera moves toward the subject, whereas when you “dolly out,” the camera moves backward and away from the subject.
Handheld
A handheld shot lets you take the camera on the go as you follow the action of a scene. With this camera movement, the operator takes control of the camera and holds it.
Rack Focus
It changes the focus from one point to another during a single shot. You start with the focus on one item in the foreground and then quickly shift the focal point on another item in the background, or vice versa.
