Extreme Close Up-
An extreme close up is a shot which allows the audience to understand a character in a films emotions more than they usually would be able to. This is because they are abnormally close and therefore it means that they can analyse the character with ease as they are not far away from the camera.
A mid-shot is where you can only see from the waist upwards on the character who is in shot. With this shot you can also see some of the surroundings the shot. This makes the audience feel as if they are closer to the character because you are able to see what surrounds them and you only see the top half of them.
This shot is usually used when there is more than one person in shot (mainly when there is a conversation taking place between two characters). Another situation it is used in is when a character is entering a new setting/scene, this shot allows the audience to receive a point of view perspective of the setting.
The canted angle is mainly used in films when there is something which is abnormal taking place (or about to take place). This is a slanted angle of shot and this is because that isn't a normal angle which therefore suggests that the scene ahead may also not be as normal as it could be.
High angle-The high angle shot is predominantly used in order to make the audience feel as if they are superior to the character in the shot because they are above them suggesting they are of higher status. It can also show the emotions of a character if they are distressed or in need of sympathy.
The long shot is when you can see the whole body of the person who is in shot and you can also see the background behind them meaning they can see the character and pretty much everything they can't see (because its behind them). This also makes the audience feel as if they have the same status as the character in shot.
