Tilt shot is when the camera is down below looking up at someone. These shots make the person in the frame seem authoritative, powerful and important. These shots would be good for the antagonists or protagonists standing up for themselves confidently.
Crane shots are taken high up when the camera is on a crane which makes everything look small, helpless or un-important in terms of their emotions or their position compared to other characters in the film. The camera can be lifted up or down on the crane to change the dynamics.
Establishing shots are always the first shots that the audience see. They set the scene by letting the audience know where this film or scene will be taking place and gets the audience interested in what will happen during the course of the film.
Crab shots are when the camera is in a space, such as a cupboard or cabinet. This gives an isolated trapped feeling, or a less professional/relaxed manner, such as the Paranormal Activity style of filming, where lots of the filming is through CCTV.
Subject filming and point of view shots are taken from the position of the audience, getting them more connected emotionally as if they are that character.
Head on shot is when the action comes directly to the camera which can be very full on and dramatic for the audience, as it makes them feel as if it's happening to them personally.
Tracking shot is when the camera is moved along on a track on the floor, following a character. This can get the audience more involved, due to the slow movement of the camera shadowing a character. What will happen next?
Close ups/extreme close ups are great shots in film as they show someone's expression and how they're feeling, whether they're screaming or crying.
