EXTREME LONG SHOT
This can be taken from as much as a quarter of a mile away, and is generally used as a scene-setting, establishing shot. It normally shows an EXTERIOR, eg the outside of a building, or a landscape, and is often used to show scenes of thrilling action eg in a war film or disaster movie. There will be very little detail visible in the shot, it's meant to give a general impression rather than specific information.

Long Shot
This category includes the FULL SHOT showing the entire human body, with the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the bottom. generally one which shows the image as approximately "life" size ie corresponding to the real distance between the audience and the screen in a cinema
MEDIUM SHOT
Contains a figure from the knees/waist up and is normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action. Variations on this include the TWO SHOT and the THREE SHOT
CLOSE UP
This shows very little background, and concentrates on either a face, or a specific detail of mise en scène. Everything else is just a blur in the background. This shot magnifies the object and shows the importance of things.
EXTREME CLOSE UP
an extreme version of the close up, generally magnifying beyond what the human eye would experience in reality. An extreme close-up of a face, for instance, would show only the mouth or eyes, with no background detail whatsoever
