12High Angle ShotA shot which looks down on the character often isolating them within the frame. Connotes to the character being in a position of weakness.
13Low Angle ShotA shot which looks up at a character or subject often making them look large within the frame. It makes the character seem heroic and/or dominant above others within the scene.
14PanIs a shot where the camera moves continuously from left to right. An abbreviation of the word panning. Often used in car chases.
15Canted Angle ShotThis is where the camera is tilted to suggest imbalance, transition and instability, therefore very popular in the horror genre. These are often used to suggest a point of view from a character and the angle in which they are seeing the scene.
16Crane ShotIs a shot where the camera is placed on a crane or jib and moved up or down. These are often used within musicals and often used to highlight a characters loneliness or the ending of a movie, the camera moving away as if it is saying goodbye to the narrative that has played out on screen.
17Hand Held ShotA shot where the camera operator holds the camera during motion, which creates an immediate jerky feel. These are often used in documentary films to create a sense of realism that it is normal to be shaky as it is real life. They denote a sense of gritty realism and make the viewer feel as if they are a part of the scene, rather than seeing it from a detached, isolated position.
18Steadicam ShotA shot taken from a hydraulically balanced camera that allows for a smooth, fluid movement.
