• A long shot is a film technique often used in educational videos or to describe the surroundings of the scene. Long shots provide the viewer with a better idea of the scene’s location and they show the whole human body from head to toe. When comparing long shots and bird’s-eye shots, the subject stands closer to the camera in the long shot.
• Medium shots often capture the dialogs of multiple people, making them common to use in documentary films. This allows the viewer to see the characters closely, such as from the knees or waist up. 
• Close-ups are used to demonstrate the emotions of the actor and help the audience engage with the characters and establish an emotional connection. This type of shot allows the viewer to understand the emotional state of the characters. As close-ups are also used to emphasize significant details, they are commonly used in industrial videos as well.
• extreme close-up - These types of shots are commonly used to increase the intensity and drama level of a scene as the viewer becomes captivated by the actor’s emotions.
• The following camera, as the name suggests, follows a character or helps explore the surroundings in the video. Filmmakers mount the camera onto the dolly or a wheeled cart that’s placed on a rail track. The dolly follows the subject as it moves. This type of shot allows the viewer to get a dynamic visual effect
• The panning filmmaking technique means the camera turns horizontally in a fixed position. These types of shots look very professional as the camera moves accurately and smoothly. As the camera moves, the motion imitates the motion of the character’s head moving from left to right. Panning shots are ideal for showing off the surroundings.
• This cinematography technique occurs when the camera moves vertically up and down from a fixed position. The camera will switch from the attention of the viewer in one area to another. It can also be used to slowly reveal something as the camera moves down. Tilt shots are commonly used as introductory shots.
• Tracking shots involve the camera being mounted on a vehicle like a car, train, boat, etc., and then tracking the action. Tracking shots give the impression of traveling through space at high speed. They create a sense of adventure and excitement.
• A zoom is a camera movement where the lens zooms in or out while keeping the image steady. Zooming in makes objects appear larger than life, which creates tension and excitement. On the other hand, zooming out gives viewers a wider perspective of the environment. A zoom shot is perfect for creating suspenseful scenes.
• In this cinematography technique, the camera rotates around its axis. Rotating shots allow the viewer to experience what the character sees without physically turning their heads. This technique is useful when trying to showcase the beauty of a location or object.
