Types of Camera Angles
1.Low Angle
A low angle shot is a film shot taken from a camera angle positioned below the
average eye line and pointing up. Low angle views can be used in conjunction with
wide shots, medium shots, close-ups, and most other standard cinematic shots.
These shots are typically taken at about 45 degrees, but they can vary from just a
few inches below a subject’s eye line all the way to the ground. 

2. High Angle
A high-angle shot is a cinematography technique where the camera points down on
the subject from above.  High-angle shots are used to make the subject or object
seem vulnerable, powerless, or weak.
3. Dutch Angle
The Dutch angle is a type of camera shot which involves setting the camera at an
angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to
the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the
bottom of the camera frame. This produces a viewpoint similar to tilting one's head
to the side. In cinematography, the Dutch angle is one of many cinematic
techniques often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject
being filmed.

4. Eye Level Angle

The eye level shot is exactly what it sounds like: the cinematographer positions the
camera angle directly at the eye level of the character. The subject is usually
captured from the knees to the head, with very little surrounding context. Rather
than dramatizing a scene or manipulating the audience’s perspective, this type of
shot represents the normal human viewpoint. As a result, it puts the audience right
in the middle of the scene. Because they match our natural perspective, eye level
angles are especially useful for initial framing of a shot.
5. Shoulder Level
A shoulder level shot is a camera angle that is as high as your subject's shoulders.
Shoulder level shots are actually much more standard than an eye level shot, which
can make your actor seem shorter than reality.

6. Hip Level
The hip level shot or cowboy shot is created when the camera is placed nearly
waist-high. It is used mostly in cowboy movies to intensify the moment of pulling
out the gun in a duel scene. It is also useful when characters are not at the same
level.
7. Knee Level
This is when your camera height is about as low as your subject's knees. They can
emphasize a character's superiority if paired with a low angle. It's not as extreme as
a ground level shot but it gets the same feeling across.

8. Ground Level
A ground level shot is when your camera's height is on ground level with your
subject. This camera angle is used a lot to feature a character walking without
revealing their face, but it can help to make the viewer more active and use the
actor's performance to build an idea.

Camera Movements
1.Pan Shot
A pan shot is a horizontal camera movement in which the camera rotates left or
right while its base remains in a fixed location.

2. Tilt Shot
Tilting is a cinematographic technique in which the camera stays in a fixed
position but rotates up/down in a vertical plane. Tilting the camera results in a
motion similar to someone raising or lowering their head to look up or down.
3. Whip Pan
A whip pan shot, also known as a swish pan effect, is a cinematography term that describes a
camera movement that literally whips the camera back and forth on its x-axis to create a
disorienting motion blur effect.

4. Zoom In & Out

A Zoom is when you adjust the camera’s focal length, which changes the visual
depth of field – or visual distance between objects – to give the illusion of the
subject being closer to or further from the camera than it is. For example, you can
use a zoom-in effect to “crop out” elements you don’t want on the screen,
emphasizing your subject. Or you can zoom-out to include more scenery in your
frame.
5. Push & Pull
A push and pull, also known as a dolly in or out, physically decreases or increases
(respectively) the distance between the camera and a subject. These camera
movements are different from a zoom because they require you to physically move
the camera without zooming the lens. A push moves the camera in, or forward;
whereas a pull moves the camera out, or backward.

6. Crash Zoom
It is a type of camera movement in which the camera zooms in or out quickly,
allowing the viewer to focus on the subject. Another use of the crash zoom is to
enable the shot to be edited as a cut from a long shot to a close up, or vice versa.

7. Camera Roll Movement

The camera roll is a rotational camera movement that rotates the camera over its
side on its long axis. Rolls can be dizzying and unnatural. For this reason,
filmmakers use it to disorient the audience or create uneasiness.

Types of Shots
1.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.

2. Long Shot
A long shot, sometimes referred to as a wide or a full shot, is a foundational type of
camera shot in the cinematographer's toolbox. Long shots center your audience in
the scenes they're about to witness.

3. Medium Long Shot

A medium long shot is also called medium full shot. It is a shot that frames a
character around the knees and up.

4. Medium Shot
A film shot that stretches from around the waist (or sometimes the knees) of a
subject up to their head. 
5. Close up Shot
A close-up shot is a camera shot in which most of the frame is filled with an actor's
face or an important feature, detail, or object. The main purpose of a close-up is to
convey information; it's the filmmaker's way of telling the audience, visually, that
this is important.

6. Extreme Close up Shot

An extreme close-up shot frames a subject very closely, often so much so that the
outer portions of the subject are cut off by the edges of the frame.
