An arc shot moves the camera along a curved path around the subject while keeping them framed, so the background rotates behind them and the audience reads the space in three dimensions. A full circle is usually called an orbit or a 360 shot.

A bird's eye view shot looks straight down at a scene from high above, with the lens roughly perpendicular to the ground. Depth collapses, so figures read as shapes moving across a flat plane rather than as people we are standing among.

Camera angles describe where the camera sits relative to the subject's eyeline, and therefore what the audience is invited to feel about that subject. The angle never changes what is in the frame, only the vantage point on it, which is why the same performance reads as powerful from below and vulnerable from above.

Camera movements are the ways a camera changes position or orientation during a shot, from a pan that rotates it in place to a dolly that carries it through space. Movement adds information across time rather than within a frame, which is why a moving shot reveals, follows or reframes instead of simply showing.

A close up shot fills the frame with one thing, most often a face from the shoulders up or a single object. Because context is cropped out, the audience has nowhere else to look, which is why this is the size that carries emotion, decision and detail.

A cowboy shot frames a subject from roughly mid-thigh up, wide enough to include the hands and the holster at the hip but tight enough to read the face. It sits between a medium shot and a full shot, and it exists because the Western needed to show a man and his gun in the same frame.

A crane shot is taken from a camera mounted on a crane or jib arm, so the camera physically rises, descends, or arcs through the air during the take. The vertical travel is what defines it, and it is what separates the move from a dolly, which stays on the ground, or a tilt, which only rotates.

jib shot · boom shot · crane up

A dolly shot moves the whole camera through space on a wheeled platform, most often straight toward or away from the subject. Because the camera changes position rather than focal length, the background shifts in scale relative to the subject, which is what makes a dolly in feel different from a zoom.

A dolly zoom moves the camera toward or away from a subject while zooming the lens the opposite way, so the subject stays the same size while the background appears to stretch or compress. The subject holds still and the world behind it changes shape, which is why the effect reads as vertigo or dawning realisation.

A dutch angle is a shot where the camera is rolled sideways so the horizon sits at a slant instead of level. The tilt reads as instability, which is why it signals unease, disorientation, or a character losing control.

An establishing shot is the frame that tells an audience where a scene is happening before anything else in it happens. It is usually wide and usually first, and its job is to hand over the geography of a place so that every tighter shot afterwards can be read without confusion.

An eye level shot places the camera at the height of the subject's eyes, looking neither up nor down at them. It is the neutral angle, which means it makes no claim about status and lets performance and composition carry the scene instead.

A handheld shot is filmed with the camera supported by the operator's body rather than a tripod or a stabiliser, so small human movements stay in the image. The instability is the point: it puts a person behind the lens and reads as immediacy rather than as a mistake.

A high angle shot places the camera above the subject's eyeline so the lens looks down. Looking down shrinks the subject against the ground, which reads as vulnerability, exposure or surveillance, and it trades sky for floor in the background of the frame.

An insert shot is a tight shot of a detail that exists inside the scene, such as a hand on a door handle, a watch face, a note, or a gun on a table, cut into the wider coverage. It carries information the wide framing cannot, and it gives the editor a place to compress time or hide a join.

A long take is a single uninterrupted shot that runs far longer than the average cut around it, often a minute or more, so a whole scene plays without an edit. Duration is the only requirement: the camera can be locked off on a tripod or travelling through a building.

A low angle shot places the camera below the subject's eyeline so the lens looks upward. The vantage point makes the subject loom over the viewer, which reads as power, threat or heroism, and it replaces the floor in the frame with ceiling or sky.

A master shot is one continuous take that covers a whole scene from start to finish, framed wide enough to hold every actor and every important action. It is the take an editor can always cut back to, and the reference that keeps the closer angles consistent.

A medium shot frames a person from roughly the waist up, close enough to read facial expression and still wide enough to show gesture and posture. It is the default size for dialogue because it carries performance and body language in the same frame without forcing the audience to choose.

mid shot · waist shot · medium two shot

An over the shoulder shot frames one character past the shoulder of another, so the audience sees the speaker from roughly the listener's position. The near shoulder anchors the frame in a real place, which is what makes a conversation feel shared rather than assembled from separate portraits.

Pan and tilt are the two ways a camera rotates from a fixed position: a pan turns it horizontally, a tilt turns it vertically. Neither changes where the camera is, which is what separates them from a tracking or crane move, where the camera itself travels through space.

A POV shot places the camera where a character's eyes are, so the audience sees exactly what that character sees. It only reads as subjective when the surrounding edit establishes whose eyes they are, which is why it almost always arrives between a shot of someone looking and a shot of their reaction.

A rack focus shifts the plane of focus from one subject to another during a single take, so what the audience is looking at changes without a cut and without the camera moving. It needs shallow depth of field and two subjects at clearly different distances from the lens.

Shot types are the standard names for how a camera frames a subject. Each name fixes three things: how much of the subject the frame holds (shot size), where the camera sits relative to the subject (angle), and whether the camera moves during the take. Naming all three is what makes a shot repeatable.

A SnorriCam is a rig strapped to the actor's body with the camera pointing back at their face, so the performer stays locked in the centre of frame while the entire world swings and lurches behind them. It is the standard way to put an audience inside a character's disorientation.

A Steadicam is a body-worn camera stabiliser that isolates the operator's footsteps from the camera, so a walking or running move looks fluid without being locked to a track. The look it produces is smooth but still alive, which is what separates it from both a dolly and a handheld shot.

A tracking shot is a shot in which the camera physically travels through space with a moving subject, holding them in roughly the same part of the frame while the background slides past. The movement of the camera itself, not a rotation or a zoom, is what defines it.

A two shot frames two people in the same image, usually from the waist or chest up, so the audience reads their relationship directly rather than inferring it from cuts. Keeping both subjects in one frame is a choice about connection, which is why breaking to singles carries meaning.

A whip pan is a pan executed so fast that the image smears into horizontal streaks. It is used either inside a shot, as a violent redirection of attention, or across two shots, where the blur at the peak of the move hides a cut and the two clips read as one continuous camera move.

A wide shot frames a subject in full with visible space above and below, so the audience reads the subject and the environment at the same time. It is the size that explains where a scene takes place and how the people in it are arranged, which is why scenes are usually built outward from one.
