A. TYPES OF SHOTS

Long Shot - (a relative term)  a shot taken from a sufficient distance to show a landscape, a building, or a large crowd

Medium Shot - (also relative)  a shot between a long shot and a close-up that might show two people fully or several people
 from the waist up

Close-Up - a shot of one face or object that fills the screen completely

Extreme Close-Up - a shot of a small object or part of a face that fills the screen completely

B. CAMERA ANGLES

High Angle - the camera looks down at what is being photographed

"Eye Level" -  a shot that approximates human vision - a camera presents an object so that the line between the camera and the object is parallel to the ground

Low Angle - the camera looks up at what is being photographed

C. CAMERA MOVEMENT

Pan - the camera moves horizontally on a fixed base

Tilt - the camera points up or down from a fixed base

Tracking or Dolly Shot - the camera moves through space on a wheeled truck but stays on the same plane

D. DURATION OF SHOTS
Shots also vary in time from subliminal (a few frames) to quick (less than a second) to "average" (more than a second but less than a minute) to lengthy (more than a minute).

E. EDITING

Cut - the most common type of transition in which one scene ends and a new one immediately begins.

Fade-out/Fade-in - one scene gradually goes dark and the new one gradually emerges from the darkness

Dissolve - a gradual transition in which the end of one scene is superimposed over the beginning of the next

Wipe - an optical effect in which one shot appears to "wipe" the preceding one from the screen.

F. SOURCES OF SOUND IN FILM
Voice-over narration, dialogue, sound effects, and soundtrack music (underscoring).
