 Different types of camera shots

Close up shot is used a lot in the film industry, it is used to tightly zoom in to a person or an object. Close-up shots display the most detail, but they do not include the broader scene.

 Medium long shot is used when a subject in the shot is showing information, it is the most common type to be used. It commonly used at the beginning of a new scene or location.   

 Big close up is used to tightly frame an object or a person, it is one of the standard shots used regularly in the film industry. This would normally be used to show detail and can also be used as a cut-in 

An extreme long shot is a view of a scene that is shot from a considerable distance. It makes people seem like indistinct shapes. It is generally used to set a scene, it normally shows an exterior object.

This is used to make a person or an object appear as small dots in the landscape if at all, this allows the camera to show extreme detail that you would normally see in person. As it is too close to show emotion or reactions it would only be used in very dramatic scenes 

Eye-level is when the camera is placed at the subject's height just like the actor is looking at the lens, this is used commonly as they show a neutral scene like two people talking to each other.  

Longshot is used to make people appear as indistinct shapes as they are normally shot from considerable distance. This would typically show the entire human figure, it would be used when an actor is doing a physical activity.
