Summary of camera angel and basic shots

Shots
1.Extreme long shot
is generally used as a scene-setting, establishing shot.
2.Long Shot
is generally one which shows the image as approximately "life" size ie corresponding to the real distance between the audience and the screen in a cinema
3.Medium Shot
Contains a figure from the knees/waist up and is normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action.
4.Close-Up
This shows very little background, and concentrates on either a face, or a specific detail of mise en scène. Everything else is just a blur in the background.
5.Extreme Close-Up
generally magnifying beyond what the human eye would experience in reality.
Angle
1. The Bird's-Eye view
This shows a scene from directly overhead, a very unnatural and strange angle.
2. High Angle
Not so extreme as a bird's eye view. The camera is elevated above the action using a crane to give a general overview.
3. Eye Level
A fairly neutral shot; the camera is positioned as though it is a human actually observing a scene, so that eg actors' heads are on a level with the focus.
4. Low Angle
These increase height (useful for short actors like Tom Cruise or James McAvoy) and give a sense of speeded motion.
5. Oblique/Canted Angle
Sometimes the camera is tilted (ie is not placed horizontal to floor level), to suggest imbalance, transition and instability (very popular in horror movies).
