  camera shots and angles extreme close-up (ECU) big close-up (BCU) close-up (CU) medium close-up (MCU) medium shot (MS) medium long shot (MLS) long shot (LS) very long shot (VLS) two shot (could be CU/MCU/MS) over the shoulder shot looking room (looking into space in the frame of the camera) good for interviews  high angle shot (HAS looking down) low angle shot (LAS looking up) tilted frame shot (TFS/dutch angle) walking room (moving subject walks into space) I have developed 15 different camera angels/shots which helped me understand the angles and made me confidant with using the camera for different shots and angles like the MCU medium close up or the dutch effect (tilted frame) what I could practice would be getting the camera shots in frame so they are as accurate as possible.
