Extreme Long Shot:
Whilst not used often it is still a very important shot, as it can be used to show a characters relationship in conjunction with their environment. 








Long Shot:
This  is used more often than the extreme long shot and can be used to much the same effect, using this shot the viewers can get a rough idea of details such as the body language and apparel of the character.








Medium Long Shot:
From here you are able to see more detail in terms of body language and apparel.











Mid Shot:
From here it is possible to get a rough idea of the characters facial features, it is also possible to pick out finer points of the characters apparel

 
Medium Close Up:
From this distance it is now possible to pick out the facial features and expression of the character.

Close Up:
Now the body of the character is entirely ignored and only the head is displayed, usually reserved for important characters, the facial expression is now clear emotion is easily conveyed.

Extreme Close Up:
Similarly to the Extreme Long Shot the Extreme close up isn't usually used often throughout the course of a film though it is none the less a useful shot to use as it can easily draw attention to a certain object or facial feature. 

Canted Shot:
Commonly used in horror films, it can be used to a feeling of unease amongst the viewers, due to it's unusual angle, as with many other shots it is effective when used sparingly, however it can easily be overplayed.

Low Shot:
Low Shots are used to make a particular character, object, building etc: look more imposing as it creates the feeling that the audience are looking up at the subject.

Eye Level:
Eye Level shots are essentially any shot at a height between a Low or High Shot.

High Shot:
High Shot's are the polar opposite of a Low Shot, they are used to make a character appear weaker
