Camera angles commonly used in cinema and my recreations of those

I researched some commonly used camera angles using empire magazines website. Me and my fellow media student Alice recreated these shots at school to gain a better understanding as to how they would look in a trailer. 

Arc Shot: 

this is where the subject is circled or 'arced' by the camera

Close up:

Where the face is in full frame, this is often used during a scene with emotional connotations.

Mid Shot:

This is the most common framing type used in trailers. The camera generally frames from the waist up. 

Cowboy shot:

A shot framed from mid thigh up, so called because of its recurrent use in Westerns

Deep Focus:

A shot that keeps the foreground, middle ground and background ALL in sharp focus

Dolly Zoom:
A shot that sees the camera track forward toward a subject while simultaneously zooming out creating a  vertiginous effect. This means it is often used in thrillers to create a sense of disorientation. 

Dutch tilt/ canted:

where the camera is tilted to create an unusual angle. 

Establishing shot:
 A shot, at the head of the scene, that clearly shows the location the action is set in.

Handheld shot:
A shot in which the camera operator holds the camera during motion to create a jerky, immediate feel with emphasis on realism being created. 

Low angle shot

A shot looking up at a character or subject often making them look bigger in the frame, it is most often used to show subversion in character such as good or evil. 

High angle shot: 

A shot looking down on a character or subject making them look smaller in the frame.

Locked down shot:

A shot where the camera is fixed in one position while the action continues off-screen.

Matte shot: 

A shot that incorporates foreground action with a background, traditionally painted onto glass, now created in a computer.

Over the shoulder shot

A shot where the camera is positioned behind one subject's shoulder, usually during a conversation. It can emphasis a character relationship but can also reinforce dominance. 

Pan:

A shot where the camera moves continuously right to left or left to right.

Point of view shot:

A shot that depicts the point of view of a character, thus building a relationship between the character and the audience. 

Steadicam shot:

A shot from a hydraulically balanced camera that allows for a smooth, fluid movement.

Tilt

A shot where the camera moves continuously Up to Down or Down To Up.  Its basically a vertical panning shot, and is often used at the end of a film to 'assess the situation', often looking up to the sky. 

Birds eye view:

A shot looking directly down on a scene rather than at an angle. 

Tracking shot:

A shot that follows a subject be it from behind, alongside or in front of the subject. This follows the subject, thus putting emphasis on it. 

Two shot:

A medium shot that depicts two people in the frame, this is used to create a character relationship. 

Whip pan:

A shot that is the same as a pan but is so fast that picture blurs, often parallel to sound effects. This is often featured in comedy films or action films because it evokes humor or 'speed'. 

Zoom:

Allows the cinematographer to change the distance between camera and object without physically moving the camera. Crash Zooms that do the same but only quicker

Crane shot:

A shot where the camera is placed on a crane or jib and moved up or down, this is like a vertical tracking shot.
