Viewpoint- the apparent distance and angle from which the camera views and records the subject. 

Point of view shot (POV)- a shot made from a camera position close to the line of sight of a performer who is to be watching the action shown in the point of view shot. This gives a realistic effect, as if we are seeing the world through the characters eyes. 

Two shot- a shot of two people together.

Selective focus- rendering only part of the action field in sharp focus through the use of a shallow depth of field. A shift focus from foreground to background or vice versa is called rack focus.

Soft focus- an effect in which the sharpness of an image, or part of it, is reduced by the use of an optical device.

Wide angle shot- a shot of a broad field of action taken with a wide angle range.

Tilted shot- when the camera is tilted on its axis so that normally vertical lines appear slanted left or right, ordinary expectations are frustrated. Such shots are often used in mystery and suspence films to create a sense of unease in the viewer.
