Different Camera and Film Shots

EWS (extreme wide shot): This view is so far from the subject that he isnt even visible. More commonly used as an establishing shot.
VWS (very wide shot): The subject is barely visible, but the emphasis is still on placing him in his environment.
WS (wide shot): The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as is possible.
MS (mid Shot): Shows some part of the subject in more detail, whilst still giving an impression of the whole subject.
MCU (medium close up): This is half way between MS and CU.
CU (close up): A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.
ECU (extreme close up): The ECU gets very close in and shows extreme detail.
Cut in: Shows some other part of the subject in detail.
CA (cut away): A shot of something other than the subject.
Two Shot: A shot of two people, framed like a mid shot.
OSS (over the shoulder shot): Looking from behind a person as the subject.
Noddy Shot: Usually referes to shot of the interviewer, listening and reacting to the subject.
POV (point of view shot): Shows a view from the subjects prospective.
Weather Shot: The subject is the weather, can be used for other purposes maybe background, for graphics.
