CLOSE-UP SHOT - a close rangle of distance between the camera and the subject
DISSOLVE - a transition between two shots, where one shot fades away and simultaneously another shot fades in
FADE - a transition from a shot to black where the image gradually becomes darker is a fade out; from black where the image gradually becomes brighter is a fade in
HIGH CAMERA ANGLE - a camera angle which looks down on its subject making it look small, weak or unimportant
JUMP CUT - a rapid, jerky transition from one frame to the next, either disrupting the flow of time or movement within a scene or making an abrupt transition from one scene to another
LEVEL CAMERA ANGLE - a camera angle which is even with the subject; it may be used as a neutral shot
LONG SHOT - a long range of distance between the camera and the subject, often providing a broader range of the setting
LOW CAMERA ANGLE - a camera angle which looks up at its subject; it makes the subject seem important and powerful
PAN - a steady, sweeping movement from one point in a scene to another
POINT-OF-VIEW SHOT - a shot which is understood to be seen from the point of view of a character within the scene
REACTION SHOT - either a shot of someone looking off screen or as a shot of someone in a conversation where they are not given a line of dialogue but are just listening to the other person speak
TILT - using a camera on a tripod, the camera moves up or down to follow the action
ZOOM - use of the camera lens to move closely towards the subject
