The document describes different camera shots and angles used in filmmaking. Extreme long shots establish broad settings from a distance, while long shots show more of the landscape and where the action will occur. Medium shots display the upper half of a character's body to define them more clearly. Close ups focus only on a character's face to convey their emotions. Extreme close-ups zoom in on a small part of the face or object to intensify mood. High and low angles influence how characters appear and how viewers feel part of the story. Oblique angles imply imbalance and instability.
