Camera Angles

Bird's-Eye view: shows a scene from directly overhead familiar objects viewed from this angle might seem totally unrecognisable at first, but it puts the audience in a godlike position, looking down on the action and given them a more encompassing view of the scene. 
High Angle: The camera is elevated above the action which gives a general overview. It can be used to make a person/object seem smaller, and less significant.
Low Angle: Low angles help give a sense of confusion to a viewer, of powerlessness within the action of a scene as it imposese the dominance and power of the subject in frame.
Eye Level: The camera is positioned as though it is a human actually observing a scene. 
Canted Angle: The camera can tilted to suggest imbalance, transition and instability.



Angle of Shot: The direction and height from where the film is being shot
Viewpoint: The distance and angle that the subject is being viewed by
Point of View shot (POV): Shown from the point of view of a specific character
Two-Shot: Showing two people together within one shot
Selective Focus: The camera is focused sharply on a specific object in a scene to create a limited depth of field.
Rack Focus: shifting the focus from background to foreground or vice versa.
Soft Focus: Reducing the sharpness of an image by using an optical device.
