Telephoto Angle : Here you use the telephoto lens to get a narrow angle of view. Lenses can be 70mm to 200mm

Extreme telephoto: Lenses above 400mm, will give you a very narrow angle of view and a highly magnified image. This is used to film subject way into the distance like planes, birds etc

Establishing shot : This external shot establishes the location of the scene where it is set in.

Rack Focus shot : When you shift the focus from one point to the other in one shot.

Deep Focus shot : Shots where almost everything is in sharp focus, from foreground to the background,

Shallow Depth of Field : Using a wider aperture, you can blur out the background and keep the foreground in sharp focus hence achieving the Shallow Depth of Field Shot

Breaking the fourth wall: When the character looks directly into the camera and talks to the audience directly, it is said to be a fourth wall breaking shot.

Chroma Key- green/blue screen shot : The subject, when filmed in front of a colored background which can later be removed in post-production

Stop Motion : In this method, you take photographs of every tiny movement and then run it as a frames to create a shot.

Motion Graphics : When the shot incorporates motion graphics or animation for information purposes it is said to have motion graphics movement.

Jib / crane Movement : When the camera is mounted on a Jib arm or crane and is a free to move in a 3D plane, such movement is called as the Jib movement.

Robot Arm Movement : To execute the robot arm movement, the camera is mounted on a robot arm like the Bolt which can be used to move very precisely and smoothly from one point to another.

Doggy / Buggy Cam : When the camera moves close to the ground it is said to be in a doggy or a buggy movement.

Timelapse / hyperlapse : When a greater time period is shown to pass by taking shots from a photography camera and playing them in the order, which were clicked in a predetermined manner and at regular intervals. Hyperlapse is achieved when a timelapse footage is combined with motion

Slowmotion / FastMotion : When the camera shoots at a higher FPS to slow down the footage later in post. Fast Motion movement is achieved by shooting at a lower FPS to speed up the footage later in post.

One Take Shot : When a range of movement is carried out through the scene without cutting the shot at all, it is known as a one take movement
