2. Close- up: It refers to the image occupying at least 80 percent of the frame.
3. Two shot: Two people in the frame are showed equally.
4. Dutch angle: It is neither vertical nor horizontal. It‘s oblique.
5.Bird’s eye shot: It is shot directly and vertically down at the subject.
6. High angle: Camera is above the subject. It creates an impression that the subject is weak or powerless.
7. Low angle: The camera is placed below the subject. The subject appears larger than normal.
8. Rack focus: Here the focus is shifted from one subject to the other where the subject that is not in focus is blurred.
9. Footage: It is the total exposed film.
10.Montage: Different images are assembled to build an impression.
