This document outlines different types of shots used in filmmaking and their effects, including wide angle shots that capture everything in frame, low angle shots that depict power dynamics, high angle shots that make characters seem vulnerable, two shots that show character interaction, and point of view shots that adopt a character's perspective. Close ups focus on facial expressions while establishing shots set the scene and framing shots direct viewer focus.
