Camera

Extreme close-up - for moments of high drama.

Close-up - for detail.
Medium shot - to give more of an idea of what a
character looks like and a similar sense of setting/action
to that of a close up.
Long shot - for an overview of location and/or action, or
to include a crowd of people.
Point of view - refers to narrative perspective rather
than a conceptual 'viewpoint'.
