Wide Shot - This type of shot can be used
virtually all of the time and simply means that the camera view is kept
wide to allow an enormous range when filming (very self-explanatory).
Angled - Angled shots are shots that add
depth and a sense of dimension to videos, which can be easily accessed.
An example of this would be instead of filming flag from a regular
standing position you could tilt the camera 90 degrees and go underneath
the flag to include mainly the flag itself, waving in the wind.
Low - Instead of shooting a subject whilst
standing (which is decent, but too common) you could position yourself
on the ground with the camera tilted slightly upward or just straight
ahead (this is used when the videographer wants to show a person walking
with just the person's feet and legs in order to add a mysterious tone
to the film). It's an interesting shot and is mixed in evenly to add
variety to videos.
Linking - This is done by filming your main
subject, and either having the camera move to include more description
of the subject's environment or by having the subject walk out of the
frame and be shown later in a new environment. This adds depth, the next
theme.
Depth - This element can be achieved by
having the focus on a major person or thing with a distinct background.
This adds a sense of dimension to videos as well (once again this
explains itself). Depth is the concept that allows the observer to see
"the bigger picture" and adds more detail to the environment of the
subject instead of having it alone. An example of this would be two
people playing catch on a lawn next to a lake and having a canoe moving
across the lake in the background of the scene.
Opposite - This basically means that the
videographer shoots the scene in a style different than what would be
expected. This can be done by shooting off of a mirror or filming in
front of a subject instead of behind it. {Action | Reaction}
