Okay, this is a *very* extensive list. We'll break it down into Camera Shots, Camera Angles, and Pose, with as much detail as possible. I'll organize them into categories and provide examples. Please note: there's overlap (e.g., a character's pose can dramatically affect the effectiveness of an angle). This is not *exhaustive*, as imaginations and creative technical execution can always produce something new, but it covers the vast majority of commonly used techniques. **I. CAMERA SHOTS (Distance/Framing)** These define how *much* of the subject is in the frame, and their relationship to the background. * **Extreme Long Shot (ELS) / Extreme Wide Shot (EWS):** The subject is incredibly small, dwarfed by the environment. Used to establish vast landscapes, feeling of isolation, or to show the insignificance of a character. * **Long Shot (LS) / Wide Shot (WS):** Shows the subject's entire body and some of the surrounding environment. Establishes location and often shows characters in relation to one another. * **Medium Long Shot (MLS) / Three-Quarter Shot (3/4):** Shows the subject from the knees/waist up. A good balance of character and environment. Common for conversations. * **Medium Shot (MS):** Shows the subject from the waist up. Allows for both facial expressions and some body language. Common for conversations and showing actions. * **Medium Close-Up (MCU):** Shows the subject from the chest up. More focused on the face and upper body, while still showing some context. * **Close-Up (CU):** Fills the frame with the subject's face. Emphasizes emotions, reactions, and detail. * **Extreme Close-Up (ECU) / Detail Shot:** Fills the frame with a small part of the subject (e.g., an eye, a mouth, a hand). Highlights specific details, intensifies emotion, or creates suspense. * **Point-of-View Shot (POV):** The camera shows what a character is seeing. Places the audience directly into the character's experience. * **Over-the-Shoulder Shot (OTS):** Camera is positioned behind a character, looking over their shoulder at another character or object. Common for dialogue scenes. * **Insert Shot:** A close-up shot of a specific object that is important to the scene. Example: steadily focusing on a letter, a key, or a gun. **II. CAMERA ANGLES (Relative to the Subject)** These describe the position of the camera in relation to the subject. * **Eye-Level:** Camera is at the same height as the subject's eyes. Neutral, objective perspective. The most common angle. * **High Angle:** Camera is positioned above the subject, looking down. Makes the subject look smaller, weaker, vulnerable, or insignificant. Can create a feeling of being watched. * **Low Angle:** Camera is positioned below the subject, looking up. Makes the subject look larger, more powerful, dominant, or intimidating. Can convey a sense of awe or fear. * **Dutch Angle / Oblique Angle / Canted Angle:** Camera is tilted to one side. Creates a sense of unease, disorientation, chaos, or psychological tension. * **Bird's-Eye View / Aerial Shot:** Camera is directly overhead, looking straight down. Has a detached, objective perspective. Can show the bigger picture or the insignificance of the subject. * **Worm's-Eye View:** Camera is positioned very low to the ground, looking up. Similar effect to a low angle but more extreme. Can emphasize the subject's height or power. * **Frontal Angle:** Camera faces directly at the subject, head-on. Creates a sense of confrontation or immediacy. * **Profile Angle:** Camera shows the subject from the side. Can reveal character's attitude or provide a clear view of their form. * **Reverse Profile Angle:** Camera shows the subject from the opposite side of the profile. Offers a different perspective and can be used for contrasting characters. **III. POSE (Character Position/Body Language)** These refer to how the subject is positioned and what their body language conveys. This is *hugely* variable based on context, character, emotion, and the story. I'll break this down into categories of feeling/intent, and some specific examples. * **General Categories & Feeling:** * **Dominant/Powerful:** Strong stance, open posture, control of space. Examples: Feet planted, arms crossed confidently, gazing directly at the camera, leaning forward. * **Submissive/Vulnerable:** Shrunken posture, closed posture, avoiding eye contact. Examples: Shoulders slumped, head bowed, hands clasped, hunched over. * **Neutral/Relaxed:** Balanced posture, comfortable position. Examples: Standing with weight evenly distributed, arms relaxed at sides, natural facial expression. * **Anxious/Nervous:** Fidgeting, tense muscles, erratic movements. Examples: Tapping feet, wringing hands, darting eyes, biting lip. * **Sad/Depressed:** Drooping posture, downturned gaze, slumped shoulders. Examples: Head hanging, arms limp, slow movements. * **Angry/Aggressive:** Tense posture, clenched fists, direct eye contact. Examples: Shoulders squared, jaw clenched, forward lean. * **Defensive:** Arms crossed, posture turned away. Examples: Creating physical barrier, avoiding eye contact. * **Thoughtful/Contemplative:** Looking off into the distance, hand on chin, slight frown. Examples: Gazing upwards, furrowed brow, distant stare. * **Specific Poses & Actions:** * **Standing:** * Feet crossed, ankles locked. * Hands in pockets. * Arms crossed. * Leaning against a wall. * Seated posture. * **Sitting:** * Slouched in a chair. * Sitting upright and straight. * Legs crossed. * Hands resting on knees. * Reclined. * **Lying Down:** * On their back, staring at the ceiling. * On their stomach, propped up on elbows. * Curled up in a fetal position. * **Gestures:** * Pointing. * Shrugging. * Waving. * Clenching fists. * Touching their face. * Adjusting clothing. * **Facial Expressions:** Exaggerated (Smiling, frowning, glaring, weeping) or subtle (twitches, eye movements). * **Dynamic Poses:** Moving, running, jumping, dancing, fighting. These are more about *motion* but still contribute to the underlying feeling. * **Symbolic Poses:** Poses that represent a concept or idea (e.g., a character shielding their eyes could represent ignorance or denial). **Important Considerations:** * **Combination:** These elements are rarely used in isolation. A shot is often a combination of angle, distance, and pose. * **Context:** The effectiveness of any of these choices depends entirely on the context of the scene, the story, and the desired emotional impact. * **Character:** A character's personality and backstory will inform their posture and actions. To help me tailor the list further, could you tell me: * What is this list for? (e.g., film school project, game design, photography?) * Are you interested in a specific genre or style?

Below is a comprehensive list of common and possible elements related to **Camera Shots and Angles** (combined as per your example, since shots and angles often overlap in photography, film, and visual media contexts like AI image generation), and **Poses**. These are drawn from standard terminology in cinematography, photography, and posing techniques. Note that "every possible" is theoretically infinite due to creative variations, but I've aimed for an extensive, practical list including basic, advanced, and niche options. I've grouped them into categories for clarity, with examples separated by commas. ### Camera Shots and Angles These refer to the framing (shots) and perspective (angles) used to capture a subject. Shots determine how much of the scene is visible, while angles affect the viewpoint and mood. - **Basic Shots**: Extreme wide shot (establishing shot), wide shot (long shot), full shot (cowboy shot), medium wide shot, medium shot, medium close-up, close-up, extreme close-up, macro shot, over-the-shoulder shot, point-of-view shot (POV), two-shot, three-shot, insert shot, cutaway shot, master shot, tracking shot, panning shot, dolly shot, zoom shot, crane shot, aerial shot (drone shot), handheld shot, steady cam shot, split-screen shot, rack focus shot, slow-motion shot, time-lapse shot, reverse shot, reaction shot, establishing shot. - **Angles and Perspectives**: Eye-level angle, high angle (bird's-eye view), low angle (worm's-eye view), Dutch angle (canted or tilted angle), overhead angle (top-down view), ground-level angle, knee-level angle, hip-level angle, shoulder-level angle, profile angle, three-quarter angle, frontal angle, rear angle (back view), oblique angle, converging angle, diverging angle, fish-eye angle, wide-angle distortion, telephoto compression angle, anamorphic angle, panoramic angle, 360-degree angle, virtual reality angle, isometric angle, forced perspective angle, parallax angle. ### Poses These refer to body positions, gestures, and arrangements of subjects (e.g., people, animals, or objects) in a scene. Poses can be static or dynamic and are often used in modeling, photography, animation, or art. - **Standing Poses**: Neutral standing, contrapposto (weight shifted to one leg), power pose (hands on hips), casual lean (against wall or object), crossed arms, hands in pockets, T-pose (arms outstretched), A-pose (arms at sides), victory pose (arms raised), salute pose, superhero pose (fists on hips), runway walk pose, elegant stance (one foot forward), athletic ready pose (knees bent), zombie pose (arms forward), dancer's arabesque, yoga tree pose, military at-attention, slouched pose, defiant pose (chin up, arms akimbo). - **Seated and Reclining Poses**: Cross-legged sit, lotus position, chair pose (seated with legs apart), lounging on sofa, kneeling pose, squat pose, fetal position (curled up), reclining on side (like a mermaid pose), throne pose (regal seated), meditative sit, picnic pose (legs extended), bar stool perch, hammock relax, bed sprawl, floor sit with legs tucked. - **Action and Dynamic Poses**: Running pose, jumping pose, punching pose, kicking pose, dancing pose (e.g., ballet pirouette), sword-fighting stance, archery draw, gunpoint aim, hugging pose, kissing pose, fighting stance (martial arts guard), flying pose (superman style), falling pose, climbing pose, swimming stroke, yoga warrior pose, sports pose (e.g., basketball dunk), dramatic fall (back arched), explosive jump (star jump), twirling pose, pointing pose, waving pose. - **Hand and Arm Poses**: Fist clench, peace sign, thumbs up, prayer hands, clasped hands, finger gun, open palm (stop gesture), heart hands, jazz hands, Vulcan salute, rock-on horns, crossed fingers, hand on chin (thinking), arms folded, hands behind back, wrist grab, interlocking fingers, salute to forehead, beckoning gesture, shrug with palms up. - **Facial and Expressive Poses**: Smiling pose, frowning pose, surprised expression, winking, tongue out, pouting lips, raised eyebrow, head tilt, looking away, direct gaze, side glance, closed eyes (serene), screaming pose, laughing pose, contemplative stare, flirtatious look, menacing glare. - **Group and ObjectInteraction Poses**: Group huddle, pyramid formation, line-up pose, couple embrace, family portrait (layered heights), pet-holding pose, object interaction (e.g., holding phone, reading book, eating pose), mirror reflection pose, shadow play pose, costume-specific (e.g., knight armor stance), vehicle pose (e.g., leaning on car), environmental pose (e.g., tree hug, wall climb). - **Niche and Artistic Poses**: Pin-up pose (retro glamorous), fashion model strut, silhouette pose (backlit outline), abstract contortion (twisted body), mime pose (invisible wall), statue imitation (e.g., thinker pose), levitation illusion, split pose (gymnastics), handstand, bridge pose (yoga backbend), corpse pose (flat on back), fetal curl in water, floating in air (fantasy), cyberpunk hacker stance, historical reenactment (e.g., Victorian curtsy). If you're using this for a specific context (e.g., AI art generation like Stable Diffusion, photography tutorials, or film storyboarding), let me know for more tailored suggestions or expansions!
Okay, it's difficult to list *every single possible* unique combination or micro-variation, as filmmaking and photography are constantly evolving, and skilled practitioners often create unique shots that don't have established names. However, we can cover the major categories and commonly recognized terms for camera angles and poses. ## Camera Shots (Angles) These refer to the position of the camera relative to the subject. ### 1. High Angle / Top Angle / Overhead * Shot from a height looking down onto the subject. * Can depict fragility, vulnerability, or show the scope of an environment. * *Variations:* Low bird's-eye view (very high and slightly tilted), Fly-on-the-wall (extreme high angle looking around/over a shoulder) ### 2. Low Angle / Dutch Angle (if tilting) * Shot from a position low to the ground, looking up at the subject. * Can depict power, dominance, heroism, or make the subject seem larger-than-life. * *Variations:* Dutch Angle combines tilting the camera up/down *and* left/right, creating a sense of disorientation or unease. ### 3. Eye Level / Normal Angle * The camera looks at the subject from roughly the height of their eyes. * Creates the most realistic and neutral perspective, allowing the audience to connect directly with the subject. * This is often considered the default "default" angle. ### 4. Bird's-Eye View * An extreme high angle where the viewer looks down as if from a great height (like an airplane or bird). Emphasizes scale and overview. ### 5. Worm's-Eye View * An extreme low angle where the subject looks almost vertically up at the camera. Makes the subject appear gigantic (unless it is). ### 6. Eyeball Level * A low angle, practically at or slightly below eye level, often used for child perspectives or specific playful/stylized shots. ### 7. Ground Level / Upright Angle * Looking at a subject from ground level, which can create a sense of intimacy, respect, or simply ground the subject within the environment (e.g., "Magritte" shot). ### 8. Dutch Angle (Strict Sense) * The camera is tilted *without* changing the height significantly. Often used to depict disorientation, tension, or instability (e.g., in film noir or action sequences). Sometimes called a *Canted Frame*. ### 9. Oblique Angle * The camera is mounted on a slight pedestal or dolly track, tilting the entire frame upwards or downwards significantly while maintaining approximately the same distance. Less extreme than Dutch angle but still creates distortion. Sometimes used in crane shots when the camera isn't directly overhead or looking down. ### 10. Profile Angle / Side Angle * Framing the subject specifically from the side, limiting the audience's access to facial expressions and foreshadowing. ### 11. Back Angle / Profile (Opposite the Action) * Shooting an actor's back as they move away from the camera, often used to create suspense or transition scenes. Sometimes called a "tripod shot." ### 12. Frontal / Straight On Angle * Framing the subject directly facing the camera, offering the most information but the most directness. ### 13. Swivel Camera Shot * Often associated with a boom microphone operator who accidentally moves laterally or tilts while capturing audio (or sometimes intentionally for stylistic effect). It can disorient the audience slightly. ### 14. Steadicam Shot * Shot using a Steadicam rig, allowing smooth, fluid movement even over uneven terrain or around corners, stabilizing the camera. ### 15. Handheld / Jittery / Documentary Style * Camera held by one person, resulting in the characteristic shake and bumps. Conveys immediacy, chaos, improvisation, panic, or documentary feel. ### 16. Dolly In / Push-In/Dolly-in-on-face * Bringing the camera physically closer to the subject. ### 17. Dolly Out / Pull Out * Moving the camera away from the subject. ### 18. Tracking Shot (Pan, Tilt, Roll, Crane) * *Pan:* Horizontal movement of the lens. * *Tilt:* Vertical movement of the lens. * *Roll:* Rotating the camera, twisting the entire image upside-down or giving a sense of vertigo (often used deviously, e.g., "Vertigo" scene). * *Crane Shot:* Using a mechanical arm (crane) to move the camera up, down, laterally, or in arcs. ### 19. Over-the-Shoulder Shot (OTS) * Framing a subject (A) through the shoulder or upper body of another subject (B). Often used in dialogue scenes to frame the conversation and context. ### 20. Establishing Shot / Master Shot * A wide shot early in a scene that introduces the setting or character's relationship to the environment, providing context. ### 21. Medium Shot / Mid-Shot * Shows the subject from the waist or knees up, framing significant parts of the body yet still allowing identification of the person(s). ### 22. Close-Up / Medium Close-Up / Tightly Framed Shot / Eye Level Close-Up * Focuses on the body, torso, or face/eyes, emphasizing emotion or detail. Often called a "cruising shot" or "close" in Japan. ### 23. Extreme Close-Up / Close-Up-on-Object / Detail Shot * Emphasizes small details, facial features (like eyes or lips), or handheld objects. ### 24. Long Shot / Full Shot / Exterior Shot * Showcases the full body of the subject against a background or setting, reinforcing physical positioning within the scene. ### 25. Deep Focus Shot (Cinematic) * Technically driven (large aperture, small f-number to create bokeh) or conceived (wide aperture) as part of a lighting design, a shot keeps both foreground and background elements sharp simultaneously. Popularized by Gregg Toland for *Citizen Kane*. ## Pose This refers more to the positioning of the subject(s) *within the frame* or their body language/r expression. ### 1. Facing Camera (Frontal) * Directly addressing the audience or another character within the frame. Expressive. ### 2. Back to Camera (Back Against the Wall) * Creates mystery, introduces subtext, suspense. Can foreshadow. ### 3. Looking / Gazing * Towards the camera (See #1) or in a specific direction (suggesting a dream, recalling memories, addressing an off-camera character, etc.). ### 4. Profile * Framing the subject to show one side of their face (often due to medium, depth of field, or for stylization). Can convey mystery or focus on specific facial details. ### 5. MidShot Standing / Sitting / Lying * General position descriptors based on the subject's posture relative to gravity. ### 6. Interaction Pose / Dyadic Interaction * Poses involving two people, such as back-to-back, side-by-side, face-to-face unfolding or unfolding naturally within the scene. ### 7. Free Pose / Natural Pose * Looks as if the subject happened upon or truly moved organically within the space. Not overly forced or directed. ### 8. Handheld / Motion Blur Pose * In film/video, a figure moving (running, walking, gesturing wildly) within a frame. In still photography, an intentional blurred hand. ### 9. Static Pose * An intentionally still, held pose, often for portraits or emphasis (can create stillness, intensity, awkwardness, or performance). ### 10. Closed Poses * Poses that frame the subject tightly, perhaps emphasizing body parts or creating a contained feeling. ### 11. Open Poses * Poses allowing space around the body, suggesting freedom, emptiness, or revealing the environment. ### 12. Sitting / Reclining Pose * Associated with relaxation, contemplation, perhaps vulnerability or waiting. ### 13. Standing Pose * Can convey self-assurance, tension, waiting, or preparation. ### 14. Swaying / Leaning Pose * More or less relaxed posture. ### 15. Climbing / Ascending Pose * Conveys upward movement/focus (can be literal or metaphorical). ### 16. Falling / Descending Pose * Conveys downward motion, failure, despair, or letting go. Often for cinematic images. ### 17. Straddling / Balanced / Crouching * Often shown with action or unpreparedness. ### 18. Masked Pose / Anonymous * The subject obscures their face (e.g., hat, scarf, profile). ### 19. Environmental Portrait Pose * Frames the subject partially out in the background environment, making them look like part of that scene. Example: Standing in line, looking around a busy city street, washing hands, shopping at a market. ### 20. Pose in Motion (Cinematic) * Coordinates a pose *just* before moving. Transitions awkwardly from one pose to another. ### 21. Succeeded / Jaw-Droppingly Successful Pose * A rare example of extremely *good* posing that captures delight, confidence, or astonishment effectively. ### 22. Guarded / Tense Pose * Arms crossed, legs apart or crossed, body turned away. Conveys defensiveness, hesitation, or paranoia. ### 23. Exaggerated Pose (Stylized) * Poses intentionally made overtly dramatic for comic effect, stylization, or characterization. *(Note: The boundaries between these can blur, and styles can be intentionally mixed to create interesting visual combinations. Also, the terminology can slightly differ based on whether you're discussing still photography or cinema.)*

Would you like me to refine any section further?
Creating an exhaustive list of every possible camera shot angle and pose is quite a task, as the variations can be vast and nuanced. However, I'll provide a comprehensive list of common and significant categories for both camera shot angles and poses. This will give you a solid foundation to work with, though keep in mind that variations and subcategories exist within each. ### Camera Shots Angle: 1. **Extreme Long Shot (ELS)**: Subject appears very small in the distance. 2. **Long Shot (LS)**: Captures the subject from head to toe, showing their full figure. 3. **Medium Long Shot (MLS)**: Frames the subject from the knees up. 4. **Cowboy Shot**: Frames the subject from the thighs up, originally used to show a cowboy's gun holstered at their hip. 5. **Medium Shot (MS)**: Frames the subject from the waist up, emphasizing their body language and facial expressions. 6. **Medium Close-Up (MCU)**: Focuses on the subject's face and upper body, capturing more detail in their expressions. 7. **Close-Up (CU)**: Tightly frames a part of the subject, such as their face or an object, to convey emotion or importance. 8. **Extreme Close-Up (ECU)**: Focuses on a very specific detail, such as eyes or lips. 9. **Over-the-Shoulder (OTS)**: Frames one character from behind the shoulder of another, often used in dialogue scenes. 10. **Point-of-View (POV)**: Shows what a character is seeing from their perspective. 11. **Two-Shot**: Frames two characters within the same shot, often used in dialogue scenes. 12. **Dutch Angle**: Tilts the camera to one side, creating a sense of unease or tension. 13. **High Angle**: Shoots from directly above or from a high vantage point, making the subject appear vulnerable or small. 14. **Low Angle**: Shoots from below the subject, making them appear powerful or heroic. 15. **Aerial Shot**: Taken from directly above, typically using a drone or aircraft, providing a broad view of the landscape or scene. ### Pose: 1. **Standing**: Upright position, can convey confidence or assertiveness. 2. **Sitting**: Can be used to convey a character's relaxed or casual state. 3. **Lying Down**: Can signify rest, vulnerability, or relaxation. 4. **Leaning**: Against something or on someone, can imply casualness or intimacy. 5. **Crouching**: Suggests preparation for action, hiding, or being in a defensive position. 6. **Kneeling**: Can signify respect, prayer, or supplication. 7. **Profile**: Standing or sitting in a way that shows the subject's profile, often used for dramatic effect. 8. **Three-Quarter View**: The subject is turned slightly away from a full-face view, often considered flattering. 9. **Frontal**: Directly facing the camera, can be straightforward or confrontational. 10. **Crossed Arms or Legs**: Suggests defensiveness or closure. 11. **Hand on Hip**: Can imply confidence or sassiness. 12. **Hands in Pockets**: Suggests casualness or nonchalance. 13. **Arms Around or Holding Someone/Something**: Conveys intimacy, protection, or possession. 14. **Looking Directly at the Camera**: Engages directly with the viewer, can be confrontational or inviting. 15. **Looking Away**: Avoiding eye contact, can imply shyness, guilt, or contemplation. ### Additional Considerations: - **Facial Expressions**: Smile, frown, surprise, anger, etc., greatly influence the mood or interpretation of a pose or camera angle. - **Body Language**: Posture, the way limbs are positioned, and how the subject occupies space can significantly impact the perceived meaning of a pose. - **Context and Environment**: The setting and what's happening around the subject can change the interpretation of both the camera angle and pose. This list covers a broad spectrum of camera shot angles and poses but is not exhaustive due to the limitless creativity and variations possible in photography and filmmaking. The nuances of expression, context, and direction can lead to countless interpretations and applications of these basics.
### Camera Shots & Angles: - **Camera Shots** (Framing/Field of View): Extreme Long Shot (wide scenery), Long Shot (full body), Medium Long Shot (knees up), Medium Shot (waist up), Medium Close-Up (chest up), Close-Up (face/shoulders), Extreme Close-Up (e.g., eyes only), Over-the-Shoulder Shot, Two-Shot (two subjects), Point-of-View Shot, Insert Shot (detail focus), Establishing Shot (location context), Master Shot (scene coverage), Cowboy Shot (mid-thigh up), Full Shot, Wide Shot. - **Camera Angles** (Height/Perspective): Eye-Level Angle, Low Angle (camera below subject), High Angle (camera above subject), Bird’s-Eye View (directly overhead), Dutch Angle (tilted frame), Aerial Shot (sky view), Shoulder-Level Angle, Hip-Level Angle, Knee-Level Angle, Ground-Level Angle, Overhead Shot, Worm’s-Eye View (extreme low angle). ### Poses (Photography/Art): - **Full Body Poses**: Standing, Sitting, Kneeling, Squatting, Leaning, Lying Down, Walking, Running, Jumping, Twisting, Reaching, Dancing. - **Upper Body Poses**: Arms Crossed, Hands on Hips, Hands in Pockets, Pointing, Arms Behind Back, Hugging Self, Folded Arms. - **Head/Face Poses**: Front-Facing, Profile (side view), Three-Quarter View (45°), Looking Up, Looking Down, Head Tilted, Laughing, Smiling, Serious/Neutral, Deep in Thought, Eyes Closed. - **Hands & Gestures**: Chin Resting on Hand, Touching Face/Hair, Covering Mouth, Pointing at Object, Holding Prop, Peace Sign, Waving. - **Dynamic/Casual Poses**: Laughing with Movement, Mid-Step, Arms Outstretched, Walking Away, Looking Back, Facing Away, Slightly Turned, Candid Smile. *(Key: Shots define **frame composition**, angles define **camera perspective**, and poses define **subject position/expression**.)*

Keep in mind that these are not exhaustive lists, and different sources may categorize or define these terms slightly differently.
You've asked for "every possible" camera shots, angles, and poses—but **this is impossible to list exhaustively**. Cinematic and photographic terminology has infinite variations based on context, creativity, and industry evolution. Instead, I'll provide **comprehensive, standardized lists of common/essential terms** used in film, photography, and videography. These cover 95%+ of professional usage. ⚠️ **Critical Notes First**: - **"Camera Shots" ≠ "Camera Angles"**: Shots refer to **framing distance** (how much of the subject is visible). Angles refer to **camera positioning relative to the subject** (e.g., high vs. low). - **"Pose" is NOT a camera term**: Poses describe **subject positioning/styling** (e.g., how a person stands), not camera technique. Cameras don’t have poses—subjects do. - I’ve separated these clearly. For accuracy, I’ve excluded niche/obscure terms (e.g., "dolly zoom" is a shot movement, not a static shot). --- ### 📸 **CAMERA SHOTS (Framing Distance)** *Terms describing how much of the subject/environment is visible in the frame:* - Extreme Wide Shot (EWS) / Establishing Shot - Wide Shot (WS) / Long Shot (LS) - Medium Wide Shot (MWS) - Medium Shot (MS) - Medium Close-Up (MCU) - Close-Up (CU) - Extreme Close-Up (ECU) - American Shot (AS) / Wide Medium Shot (WMS) - Two-Shot (TS) - Three-Shot (3S) - Over-the-Shoulder Shot (OTS) - Point-of-View Shot (POV) - Cutaway Shot - Insert Shot - Reaction Shot > 💡 *Note: "Establishing Shot" is a narrative use of a Wide Shot; "POV" is a shot type, not a camera angle.* --- ### 📐 **CAMERA ANGLES (Perspective/Positioning)** *Terms describing the camera’s physical position relative to the subject:* - Eye-Level Angle - High Angle (looking down on subject) - Low Angle (looking up at subject) - Bird’s-Eye View / Top Shot - Worm’s-Eye View - Dutch Angle (Tilted/Dutch Tilt) - Overhead Shot (static top-down, not moving) - POV Shot (first-person perspective) - Aerial Shot (shot from aircraft/drone, often high angle) - Canted Angle (synonymous with Dutch Angle) - Reverse Angle (e.g., shot from opposite side of a conversation) > 💡 *Note: "POV" appears in both shots and angles—it’s context-dependent. "Aerial" is a shooting technique, not an angle.* --- ### 👤 **SUBJECT POSES (Human Stance/Positioning)** *Terms describing how a person stands, sits, or moves—**not camera-related**. These are used for photography/videography directing:* #### Static Poses (Non-Action): - Standing: Relaxed, Confident (hands on hips), Formal (shoulders back), Casual (leaning), Profile View, Three-Quarter View - Sitting: Cross-Legged, Perched on Edge of Chair, Resting on Elbows, Knees to Chest, Slouched - Lying: Supine (face-up), Prone (face-down), Side-Lying - Kneeling: Hands on Knees, Hands on Head #### Dynamic Poses (Action/Movement): - Walking (speed varies: brisk, slow, dragging) - Running - Jumping - Dancing - Gesturing (pointing, waving, open palms, clenched fists) - Leaning (on wall, car, table) - Reacting (laughing, crying, surprise) #### Specialized Poses: - Portrait Pose: Chiaroscuro (dramatic lighting), Soft Focus, Dramatic Shadow - Action Pose: Mid-jump, Forces a Fall, Defensive (hands up) - Couple/Family Pose: Hugging, Walking Together, Holding Hands, Group Formation > 💡 *Note: "Pose" is entirely about the subject’s physicality. Camera *techniques* (e.g., "low angle") interact with poses but aren’t poses themselves. No exhaustive list exists—poses are context-driven (e.g., fashion vs. wedding photography).* --- ### ❌ What’s **NOT** Included (and Why): - **"Every possible" variation**: E.g., "slightly low angle with 5° tilt" or "hand on chin at 15°" – these are infinite customizations. - **Camera movements**: Dolly, Truck, Pan, Tilt, Zoom – these are *techniques*, not static shots/angles. - **Genre-specific terms**: e.g., "Hitchcock zoom" (a movement), "Dutch angle in horror" (a used context) – not flexible terms. - **Artistic styles**: "Golden-hour lighting" or "film grain" – these are not shots, angles, or poses. --- ### ✅ Quick Reference for Beginners: | Category | Core Terms to Learn First | Why? | |----------------|---------------------------|------| | **Shots** | Close-Up, Medium Shot, Wide Shot | Most fundamental for storytelling | | **Angles** | Eye-Level, High Angle, Low Angle | Basic perspective tools | | **Poses** | Standing Confident, Sitting Cross-Legged, Walking | Universal starting points for directing people | For real-world use: **Study film stills or photos while identifying these terms**. Tools like [Cyberlink PowerDirector](https://www.cyberlink.com) or [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html) have tutorials breaking these down.

**Camera Shots & Angles** *(All terms are commonly used in photography, cinematography, and visual‑art references. The lists are organized from the broadest to the most specific, and each entry can be combined with any angle or composition you like.)* --- ### 1️⃣ Camera **Shot Types** (how much of the subject is captured) | Shot Type | Typical Focal Length / Coverage | Quick Description | |-----------|--------------------------------|-------------------| | **Extreme Long Shot (ELS)** | 10‑30 ft / full scene | Shows the environment, places the subject as a tiny element. | | **Long Shot (LS)** | 30‑70 ft | Subject full‑body, still shows major surroundings. | | **Full Shot** | ~10‑15 ft | Subject head‑to‑toe, little background. | | **Medium Long Shot (MLS) / Knee‑Shot** | ~7‑10 ft | From the knees up. | | **Medium Shot (MS)** | ~5‑7 ft | From waist or hips up. | | **Medium Close‑Up (MCU)** | ~3‑5 ft | From the chest or shoulders up. | | **Close‑Up (CU)** | ~1‑3 ft | Face fills most of the frame; details of eyes, mouth, etc. | | **Extreme Close‑Up (ECU)** | < 1 ft | Very small detail – eye, lips, hand, texture. | | **Cut‑In** | Variable | Tight on an object that is not the main subject (e.g., a watch). | | **Insert** | Variable | Same as cut‑in but used for narrative emphasis. | | **Two‑Shot** | Variable | Two subjects in a single frame. | | **Group Shot** | Variable | More than two subjects, often staged. | | **Over‑the‑Shoulder (OTS)** | Variable | Shows the back of one character’s shoulder/head with another subject in front. | | **Point‑of‑View (POV)** | Variable | Camera sees what a character sees. | | **Reverse‑POV** | Variable | Camera looks from the subject toward the viewer (subject’s gaze). | | **Tracking / Dolly Shot** | Variable | Camera moves with the subject (forward, backward, side). | | **Pan / Tilt** | Variable | Camera rotates horizontally (pan) or vertically (tilt) while stationary. | | **Crane / Jib Shot** | Variable | Camera lifted high, sweeping down or up. | | **Steadicam / Handheld** | Variable | Mobile, fluid movement; can be smooth (steadycam) or jittery (handheld). | | **Rack‑Focus** | Variable | Shallow depth‑of‑field shift focus from foreground to background (or vice‑versa). | | **Zoom** | Variable | Change focal length without moving the camera. | | **Static / Locked‑Down** | Variable | Camera fixed; only subjects move. | | **Split‑Screen** | Variable | Two (or more) distinct image areas shown simultaneously. | | **Montage / Fast‑Cut** | Variable | Series of short shots edited together. | | **Time‑Lapse** | Variable | Long periods compressed into short video; often with static camera. | | **Slow‑Motion** | Variable | High‑frame‑rate capture slowed down. | | **Hyper‑Lapse** | Variable | Time‑lapse with camera movement. | | **360° / Panoramic** | Variable | Full spherical view, often used in VR. | | **Drone / Aerial Shot** | Variable | Shot from an unmanned aerial vehicle. | | **Under‑Crane (Low Crane)** | Variable | Camera low, looking up, often to emphasize power. | | **Bird’s‑Eye View** | Variable | Directly overhead, orthogonal to ground. | | **Worm’s‑Eye View** | Variable | Directly under the subject, looking up. | | **Dutch Tilt / Canted Angle** | Variable | Camera tilted so horizon is diagonal, creates tension. | | **High Angle** | Variable | Camera above subject, looking down. | | **Low Angle** | Variable | Camera below subject, looking up. | | **Eye‑Level** | Variable | Camera at the subject’s eye line; neutral. | | **Top‑Shot / Ceiling Shot** | Variable | Camera above, often looking straight down. | | **Bottom‑Shot / Floor Shot** | Variable | Camera placed on floor looking upward. | | **Side‑Shot / Profile** | Variable | Camera perpendicular to subject’s line of action. | | **Rear‑Shot** | Variable | Camera behind the subject, often showing back. | | **Macro Shot** | Variable | Extreme close‑up of tiny subjects (insects, textures). | | **Micro Shot** | Variable | Even closer than macro; sub‑cellular detail (special rigs). | | **Infrared / UV Shot** | Variable | Uses non‑visible light spectrum for artistic effect. | | **Night‑Vision / Thermal** | Variable | IR/thermal imaging for low‑light or sci‑fi feel. | | **Tilt‑Shift** | Variable | Miniature effect via selective focus. | | **Soft‑Focus** | Variable | Diffused look, often for glamour. | | **High‑Speed (Burst) Shot** | Variable | Captures multiple frames in rapid succession. | | **Long‑Exposure** | Variable | Captures motion blur (light trails, silky water). | | **Silhouette** | Variable | Strong back‑light, subject appears dark shape. | | **Back‑lit** | Variable | Light source behind subject; rim lighting. | | **Front‑lit** | Variable | Light source facing the subject; even illumination. | | **Side‑lit** | Variable | Light from the side; strong shadows & texture. | | **Rembrandt Lighting** | Variable | Classic portrait lighting pattern. | | **Butterfly Lighting** | Variable | Light above nose, creates butterfly shadow under nose. | | **Split Lighting** | Variable | Light divides face into light/dark halves. | | **Loop Lighting** | Variable | Small shadow of the nose loops onto cheek. | | **Broad Lighting** | Variable | Light on the side of the face turned away from camera. | | **Short Lighting** | Variable | Light on the side of the face turned toward camera. | | **Clamshell Lighting** | Variable | Combination of key and fill lights from above and below. | --- ### 2️⃣ **Camera Angles** (the geometric relationship between the camera and the subject) | Angle | Description / Effect | |-------|-----------------------| | **Eye‑Level** | Neutral, realistic, “as‑if you’re looking straight at them.” | | **High Angle** | Camera above, looking down → subject appears vulnerable, powerless, or smaller. | | **Low Angle** | Camera below, looking up → subject looks dominant, powerful, or larger‑than‑life. | | **Bird’s‑Eye (Top‑Down)** | Directly over the scene → gives a map‑like, objective view; good for patterns. | | **Worm’s‑Eye (Ground‑Level)** | From ground looking up → emphasizes height, drama, alien perspective. | | **Dutch Tilt / Canted** | Horizon tilted → creates unease, tension, disorientation. | | **Over‑Shoulder (OTS)** | Shows subject from behind another’s shoulder → conveys dialogue, intimacy. | | **Point‑of‑View (POV)** | Camera sees through the character’s eyes → immerses the audience. | | **Reverse‑POV** | Subject looks directly at the camera (viewer) → breaks the “fourth wall.” | | **Side‑Angle / Profile** | Camera aligns with the subject’s side → emphasizes silhouette, shape. | | **Rear‑Angle** | Camera behind the subject, looking forward → often used for “walking away” shots. | | **Three‑Quarter Angle** | Between full frontal and profile (≈45°) → flattering for portraits. | | **Close‑Up Frontal** | Directly facing the subject’s face → intensifies emotional connection. | | **Tilt‑Up / Tilt‑Down** | Camera tilts up or down while remaining at eye‑level → reveals height or depth. | | **Panoramic Sweep** | Horizontal sweep across a scene → conveys scale or movement. | | **Zoom‑In / Zoom‑Out** | Change of focal length while staying stationary → draws focus in/out. | | **Crane‑Up / Crane‑Down** | Camera physically moves upward/downward on a crane → reveals or hides information. | | **Dolly‑In / Dolly‑Out** | Whole camera moves forward/backward on a track → changes perspective smoothly. | | **Rail‑Shot / Slider** | Small lateral movement → adds subtle motion. | | **Orbit / Arc Shot** | Camera circles the subject while keeping it centered → dynamic 3‑D reveal. | | **Fly‑Through / Tracking** | Camera moves through a space, often at ground level → immersive “walking” feel. | | **Static / Locked‑Down** | No movement; pure observation → lets action speak for itself. | | **Macro Angle** | Extremely close to tiny subjects → reveals hidden world. | | **Extreme Close‑Up Angle** | Focuses only on a detail (eye, mouth, hand) → heightens intensity. | | **Split‑Screen Angle** | Two distinct angles shown simultaneously → juxtaposition or parallel action. | | **Mirror / Reflected Angle** | Camera captures subject via mirror or reflective surface → adds layers. | | **Shadow‑Play Angle** | Camera captures only silhouettes against strong back‑light. | | **Infrared / Thermal Angle** | Non‑visible spectrum view → artistic or scientific effect. | --- ### 3️⃣ **Pose Categories & Specific Poses** *(A pose is the arrangement of the body (and sometimes props) relative to the camera. The following list covers portrait, fashion, editorial, action, lifestyle, and specialty posing. Most can be combined with any camera shot or angle.)* | Category | Example Poses (comma‑separated) | |----------|---------------------------------| | **Basic Standing** | **Neutral** (feet hip‑width,

Chin Up* → powerful portrait. - Mix variations (e.g., *Dutch Tilt* with *Full Body* *Action Jump* for dynamic editorial). - Consider **Lighting** and **Background** to complement the pose/angle (e.g., *Back‑lit Silhouette* with *Bird’s‑Eye* *Lay‑Down* pose). --- **Tip:** When planning a shoot, make a quick “grid” table: | Shot | Angle | Pose | Props/Lighting | |------|-------|------|----------------| | LS | High | Walking toward camera, one hand in pocket | Golden hour, sun behind | | CU | Eye‑Level | Hands gently touching face, soft smile | Softbox, 45° fill | Fill it out before the day of shooting to ensure you capture the full range of visual storytelling possibilities! 🎬📸
