Establishing shot- this shot sets the scene.This encodes a meaning because it lets the audience know where the scene is taking place therefore they already gain a better understanding.
Close-up - This shot lets the audience connect more with the character by giving them a closer look of their feelings and emotions during the scene. This can cause the audience to feel sympathetic for the character or indeed feel the same emotions they are feeling.
Mid-shot - This shot is normally used during dialogue or to get a better look of the character (including their clothes etc). This helps the viewer pay more attention to any conversation taking place between characters.
Long-shot - This allows the viewer to see the character'a entire outfit and body language. This creates an effect for the reader as it allows them to understand the character more through the way they act and position their body.
Wide shot- This shot is particularly helpful for the reader as it is positioned to observe most of the action/ performance in a scene.
Two-shot - This type of camera shot can be used to present the relationship between the two characters or the emotional reactions between the two subjects which again gives the audience members a better understanding of the story.
Aerial shot- This shot could make the reader feel as though the character is insignificant/ looked down upon or it could give a better view of the setting.
Point of view shot- This is used to let the audience know what the character is going through, as if to feel they are the ones in the story.
Over the shoulder shot- This shot also has a similar effect on the reader- feeling as though they are seeing the drama and action taking place in the scene from the character's point of view.
High angle shot- This is used for more weaker characters, letting the audience know they are not as powerful as the others.
Low angle- This has an opposite effect on the reader, implying that this character is of great importance and is powerful.
Canted angle- This can create a dramatic effect for the reader - creating unease, frantic or desperate action.
