ESTABLISHING SHOT - In film and television, an establishing shot sets up, or "establishes", a scene's setting and/or its participants. Typically it is a shot at the beginning (or, occasionally, end) of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place.
CLOSE UP SHOT - a close-up tightly frames a person or an object. Close-ups are one of the standard shots used regularly
MATCH ON ACTION - is when you cut during an action to another camera angle but showing the action from the same point in time that you left it from the previous shot.
REACTION SHOT - A specific type of close-up in which the actress, actor or group of people is responding to an event. The shot is supposed to convey the impact of the moment and is often accomplished with a cutaway from the primary action to someone viewing the occurrence.
LONG SHOT - shows all characters in the location, this informs the audience of the characters position relative to both one another and the surroundings.
FILMING A CONVERSATION - shotting a conversation over the shoulder allows both characters to remain in the scene throughout.
THE 180 DEGREE RULE - is very important, it refers to an imaginary line which cuts through the middle of the scene, from side to side with respect to the camera. Crossing the line changes the viewers perspective in such a way that it may cause disorientation and confusion. For this reason , crossing the line is usually something to be avoided.
