Over the shoulder shot


An example of an over the shoulder shot would be this scene from Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. This adds effect as it shows which character is in control and the way in which a number of characters communicate with each other.

Long Shot


An example of a long shot is this scene from Batman The Dark Knight, this allows the viewer to see the full scene and the effect the character has on the public in the city.

High Angle


An example of a high angle shot is this scene from Inglourious Basterds. This camera angle shows which characters are dominant and which are the less powerful.

Extreme close-up


This is an example of an extreme close-up from the film Avatar. This is usually used when trying to add tension, it can also be used at the end of films to end with a character rising from their death.

Low Angle Shot


This is an example of a low angle shot from the film Batman The Dark Knight Rises. This camera shot is also used to show dominance and is used to show the effect of the lighting in a scene.
