Wide shots capture a whole scene. Long and medium shots frame full or partial bodies. Close-ups focus on details while extreme close-ups show depth. Point-of-view shots represent a character's perspective. Two shots show interaction between subjects. Overhead shots are from above. Low and high angles make subjects appear bigger or smaller. Oblique angles tilt the frame. Pans and tilts pivot the camera horizontally or vertically. Tracks follow subjects without pivoting. Zooms and reverse zooms reveal or conceal details. Dollies move the camera forward or backward without
