This document discusses various shot types and camera angles used in filmmaking. It defines close ups and extreme close ups as shots that focus on important objects, possibly with an out of focus background. Medium shots show up to the mid-torso and some of the surrounding area. Long shots capture the full body and setting. High angles make subjects seem weak while low angles convey power and status. Point of view shots are from someone's perspective and eye view maintains eye level.
