    Tripods are used for smooth, wide shots to establish settings, while hand-held cameras capture action and point-of-view shots to involve the audience. Extreme close-ups and close-ups show emotions, while mid shots convey body language and environments. Full shots display a character's full body to identify them. Long and wide shots establish scenes or bookend sequences, showing settings. Extreme long shots provide the broadest view of isolating environments. Establishing shots, like of landmarks, locate where characters live. Over-the-shoulder and two shots indicate two speakers interacting. Point-of-view shots place the audience in a character's perspective. Cutaways and Dutch angles add a voyeuristic feel

    Tripod & Hand-held

    A tripod is good for smooth camera shots, this is bets used in presenting a setting in a wide shot,
    helping the audience figure out the connotations of the scene. A hand-held however, is used during
    action scenes or POV shots, giving the audience a chance to feel what the character is feeling.

    Extreme close(ecu)/ Close up/ Mid shot


    This shot is best used to present the feelings/emotions the character is feeling. Close ups are also
    best used in conveying emotion, especially in a sequence of action. Mid shots are more different to
    the two close ups, they are used especially for presenting the characters body movements and the
    setting of the environment they are in.

    Full Shot
    A full shot presents the full body of the character, clearly showing their body expressions and the full
    shot will be easier for the audience to understand who the main character is supposed to be,

    Long/wide shot
    These shots are best used for the opening of a scene or the ending of a film or action sequence. This
    shot also helps show the setting more clearly.

    Extreme wide/long shots


    This is the widest of shots, perfectly presenting the environment. Connoting the situation, the
    characters are in. such as in Wall-E, the wide shot of Earth which shows how isolated he is.

    Establishing Shot
    An establishing shot is very similar to extreme wide/long shots. This presents the location of where
    the character lives such as shot of the statue of liberty next to New York.

    Over the shoulder shot


    These shots best connote the audience spying. This shot also shows that there are two speakers
    rather than one as a close or one shot.

    POV shot
    This shot helps put the audience in the characters shoes, making them see what the character is
    seeing and making them feel as if the character Infront of them is directly speaking to them.

    Cutaway shot
    A cutaway shot is like a close-up, except is shows more of the characters surroundings and
    showing more of their expressions and gestures.
    Two shot
    A two shot best shows two characters and that there are two speakers like over shoulder.
    Dutch angle
    Dutch angles are best used like spying on the action happening on the scene.
