Types of Camera Angles


Establishing shot
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. Establishing shots were more common during the classical era of filmmaking than they are now.

Extreme long shot
In film, a view of a scene that is shot from a considerable distance, so that people appear as indistinct shapes. An 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).

Extreme close up
The shot is so tight that only a detail of the subject, such as someone's eyes, can be seen. Lean-In: when the juxtaposition of shots in a sequence, usually in a scene of dialogue, starts with medium or long shots, for example, and ends with close-ups.

Low angle
a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. ... Psychologically, the effect of the low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful.

High angle
A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up." High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.

Tracking Camera
A tracking shot is any shot where the camera moves alongside the object(s) it is recording. In cinematography, the term refers to a shot in which the camera is mounted on a camera dolly that is then placed on rails – like a railroad track. The camera is then pushed along the track while the image is being filmed.

to photograph or televise while rotating a camera on its vertical or horizontal axis in order to keep a moving person or object in view or allow the film to record a panorama : to pan from one end of the playing field to the other during the opening of the football game

Zoom Camera
Dolly. The camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks for a very smooth movement. Also known as a tracking shot or trucking shot. Dolly Zoom.

Fade Camera
fade-in are used to describe a transition to and from a blank image. This is in contrast to a cut where there is no such transition. A dissolve overlaps two shots for the duration of the effect, usually at the end of one scene and the beginning of the next, but may be used in montage sequences also. Generally, but not always, the use of a dissolve is held to indicate that a period of time has passed between the two scenes.

Wipe Camera
A wipe is a type of film transition where one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape. ... A star wipe is a wipe that takes the shape of a growing or shrinking star, and is used to impart a sense of "extra specialness" or "added value".
