This is an example of an Aerial shot, an aerial shot is an exterior shot, shot from the air, it is usually used to convey a location used in the film. An example of this would be in the film inside job, as seen above.
This shot is called the Arc Shot, this is created by the camera moving round its subject, mostly used to portray a character feeling giddy or confused.
This is a bridging shot, it shows the passing of time, and sometimes change of location, like the one above.
A close up shot has only the subjects face in, conveying a characters emotions or response to something that has happened, or introducing a new character.
a mid-shot is the most common shot in films, showing less than a long shot and more than a close up, can also be used to introduce and character in their surroundings.
A long shot - shows all the character, introduces the character in their surroundings, or show all of someones costume.
The cowboy shot, usually used in cowboy films, frames from the mid thigh up.
A deep focus shot keeps all aspects of the shot in focus, meaning that all aspects have to be detailed.
The dolly zoom - camera tracks in whilst zooming out, creating a woozy effect, famously used Hitchcock's film Vertigo.
The dutch tilt - Camera films at an angle, creating a woozy effect, mostly used to create disorientation, is also a convention of film noir, and can increase tension because something feels wrong to the viewer.
