Camera shots, angles and movement are very important in films, as different shots can create different affect on a certain scene, to make the audience feel a certain way. e.g. to show emotion they would use an extreme close up to show the facial expressions the character makes.
Different Camera Angles
Extreme Long Shot
Used to show the setting of a scene, usually at the start of a film so the audience know where the film is set or where a specific scene is taking place.
Medium Three Shot
medium shots are usually shot from around the waste to the head. used in films to show some sort of action, this is a medium three shot because it has three people in it, two people is medium two shot and so on, one person is a medium shot...
Close up
Close ups used to show emotion in a characters face and the audience to relate to the character. Usually taken from the shoulders and up to the head.
Angles
Birds Eye View
Filmed from really high up, and similar to an extreme long shot, used to show a setting and usually used at the start of a film.
Low Angle
Shot from low looking up, used to make something look very big and superior. So to show power.
Eye Level
Neutral shot, shot from the characters head and is in level with the focus.

Panning
The camera is placed on a tripod for easy movement and then follows the character horizontally, used for running scenes or a characters point of view when they look left to right.
Tilts
Similar to a panning show however it moves vertically and not horizontally.
So these are some of the basic camera shots, angles and movements that are used in films.
