Camera Shots!
This task was to learn different camera shots and angles you can take.
Over shoulder shot, Looking from behind a person at the subject.
extreme close up shot, The shot is so tight that only a fraction of the focus of attention, such as someone's eyes, can be seen.
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). 
Low angle shot, These increase height (useful for short actors like Tom Cruise or James McAvoy) and give a sense of speeded motion. 
High angle, The camera is elevated above the action using a crane to give a general overview. High angles make the object photographed seem smaller, and less significant (or scary).
P.O.V point of view, Shows a view from the subject's perspective.
Long shot, This is the most difficult to categorise precisely, but 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. This category includes the FULL SHOT showing the entire human body.
Mid shot, Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject..
Close up, An extreme close-up, sometimes called a tight shot, is, as its name implies, a more extreme version of a close-up-for example, when the camera closes in on the face of a person and then comes in even closer to focus on an eye. A medium close-up emphasizes the principal subject but includes other objects that are nearby.
