Master Shot - A shot that establishes the setting: where the characters are, any important objects that may be present, and so on. Also called an "establishing shot"
Over the shoulder - A shot done over the character's shoulder
Cutaways - a shot to which the editor can cut in order to show an action or solve an editing problem.
Reaction shots - Wordless shots of characters reacting to action. Also called inserts.
Inserts - Similar to Reaction shots; an insert is a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or focal length from the master shot. Inserts cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different aspect of that action due to the different framing. An insert is different from a cutaway in that the cutaway is of action not covered in the master shot.
