The shot size  how fr the person or object is that the director wants us to focus on.
The camera angle where the camera is in relation to the person or object that the director wants us to focus on

Camera angle


Four basic
Used to reveal dramatic information by enlarging the viewers field of view, able to narrow and focus attention on significant objects of characters.  It expresses the sense of movement in a scene and makes it more exciting.

Pan and Tilt - It is a lateral movement onscreen , a variation of the pan is an arc shot where the camera pivots at a 360 on its mounting on the tripod. The tilt is moving the camera vertically and its used ti draw attention to something.
The dolly or tracking - the camera on the tripod and base physically travels through space ,they produce
The Boom or Crane - When a scenes action needs to be covered on a high scale. It shows the large and a revealing scale of scene and showing the dramatic scene.
Steadicam- this are used to have an airbrush transitioning

Frames

Tight framing - an image where there is a lack of space around the subject and gives a sense of constriction ,
Loose framing - Refers to shots that have a great deal of open space around the subject and give a sense of isolation or freedom.
Deep focus framing - objects or characters remain in sharp focus from positions near and far from the camera.


Mise en scene : everything in the frame can carry meaning. location, props , language , costumes , lighting and environment.
maintaining is about the creative choice to maintain or willingly not maintain lighting consistency throughout a sequence of shots . The reason behind deliberately ignoring the continuity is to achieve better lighting simple as that.
