    This document defines and describes various camera angles and shots including the aerial shot, arc shot, close up, medium shot, long shot, deep focus, establishing shot, low angle shot, and high angle shot. The aerial shot establishes a location from the air. The arc shot circles the subject. A close up keeps only the face in frame. The medium shot shows less than a long shot but more than a close up. The long shot shows a character or object from head to foot. Deep focus keeps everything in focus. The establishing shot shows where the scene is based. A low angle shot looks up and makes the subject look bigger while a high angle shot looks down and makes the subject look small.
