High Angle: when a camera is looking down from above the scene, works well in battle scenes Low Angle: when the camera is looking up from the bottom of the scene, could be something as simple as a sky shot Straight On: when the camera is focused directly on the main scene, when there is a single thing that the director wants to focus on From Ground Level: when the camera is on the ground, it adds a more realistic feel Dutch Angle: when the camera is tilted to the side, creates a dizzy effect

Why might the director choose these, how do they affect the mood of the shot?

Rule of Thirds: allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section, it is used to even out the shot, make it more even Shooting through an Object: changing focus on camera to focus on something else in the frame, if the camera is focused on the close up object and then something is happening in the background in the same scene Nose Room: the space in front, and in the direction, of moving or stationary objects Head Room: clear vertical space, makes sure there is enough room for the actor Tripod: an item with three legs that can hold a camera in place, used so camera operators don't have to hold the camera's all the time Hand-held: designed to be held in the hand, it may be used to create a shakier home video effect
