Camera Angles

Close-up: Sees only the face and shows emotion.
Extreme Close-up: A close up in which a small details fills up the whole screen.
Medium Shot: Shows half the body and some of the background and body language.
Long Shot: Shows all the body and background.
Pan: Camera moves from side to side to view the whole scene, and give the audience a sense of perspective.
Tracking: Follows a person/object to give a sense of excitement and show movement of subject/object.
High Angle Shot: A shot in which the camera looks down upon the subject from a higher vantage point, to make the subject appear smaller - a victim.
Low Angle Shot: A shot in which the camera looks up at the subject from a lower vantage point, and places the subject in a position of power/authority.
Bird's Eye View: Filming a scene from directly overhead, to make objects appear smaller and more insignificant. It can also be used to give a shot of the entire surroundings.
Worms Eye View: A view of an object from below, used commonly for third perspective, and to make objects appear bigger and more threatening.
Tilt Up: Similar to a low angle shot, it makes the subject seem more important. This shot includes an upward panning effect.
Tilt Down: Similar to a high angle shot, making the subject appear inferior, again including a download panning effect.
Shot-reverse-shot: A shot of one subject, then another, then back to the first. It is often used for conversation or reaction shots.
POV: A shot where the scene is viewed through the characters eyes - may contain jolting movement to show a character walking etc. Used in films like 'Cloverfield' to increase tension and make the audience feel as if they are right in the midst of the action.
Over The Shoulder Shot: Shows a face over another persons shoulder - way of showing a conversation between two people.
180* Rule: Camera pans around a 180* semi circle in order to keep continuity of direction or position of a subject.
Dutch Tilt: A lateral tilt of the camera, as though an object is about to fall to one side. It suggests tensions, transitions, impending movement. If the camera slants to the left, it is to create a weak or static effect. If it slants to the right it is acting forceful.
