The document discusses different types of camera shots including long shots, mid shots, close ups, extreme close ups, two shots, wide shots, point of view shots, bird's eye views, and worm's eye views. Long shots show a whole person from a distance while close ups focus on shoulders and above. Mid shots show from the waist up and reveal facial expressions. Two shots capture two characters in a scene. Wide shots emphasize scale and distance in landscapes. Point of view shots make the audience feel worried for the person being watched without their knowledge. Bird's eye views look directly down to convey size while worm's eye views look directly up.
