In Movies and TV shows there are 6 types of camera angles. Each shot lasts from 2-3 seconds. The 6 types of shots are:

Closeup

Closeups are used to show something in detail

Extreme Closeup

Extreme Closeups are used for more detail than a closeup

Extreme Wideshot

Extreme wideshots are used to show setting like where people are thats larger than normal wideshot

Over the shoulder

Allows the viewer to see whats happening from the shoulder's point of view

Medium shot

Medium shots are ideal for two characters talking as its a middle ground between widest and closeup.

Wideshot

Wide shots are used to show a large area of the scene but not as large as extreme wideshots
