Camera angles

Camera Angles:-

The term camera angle means slightly different things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is composed. Some people use it to include all camera shot types
, others use it to specifically mean the angle between the camera and the subject.

1 . Extreme long shot

 An extreme long shot is a view from an even greater distance, in which people appear as small dots in the landscape if at all
The extreme long shot shown in the picture  is taken from a distance, but denotes a precise location - it might even connote all of the entertainment industry if used as the opening shot in a news story.
Camera angle: Extreme Long Shot

2. Long Shot

It is a camera shot taken at a relatively great distance from the subject and permitting a broad view of a scene.
 
Camera angle: Long shot

3. Medium Shot

It is a camera shot in which the subject is in the middle distance, permitting some of the background to be seen.
 
Camera angle:  Medium shot

4. Close-Up

In the closeup shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face. A close-up of a person emphasizes their emotional state. 
Camera angle: close up

5. Extreme Close-Up

Extreme close-up gets right in and shows extreme detail.
You would normally need a specific reason to get this close. It is too close to show general reactions or emotion except in very dramatic scenes.
