Camera Angles

Establishing shot: Often a shot which is used to show the audience where a scene is taking place. For this reason, it is usually a wide shot, showing a lot of area and setting.

Extreme close-up shot: Similar to a close-up, the extreme close-up frames its subject that only a detail of it can be seen (for example, a character's eyes).
