Steadicam Shot – the shot is taken from a hydraulic camera stand
Tilt – the camera moves up to down or down to up
Top Shot – the shot is looking directly down on a scene
Tracking Shot – the camera follows the subject in any way
Two Shot – the shot will tend to show links between two people
Whip Pan – It does the same movement as a Pan but moves very fast in which making the scene blury
Zoom – the shot allows the camera to look like it is moving away from a object without physically moving
I only really have one favorite and it is the Steadicam because it to me looks the best.
