Pan: panning with camera in fixed position viewing the setting. 
Track: the camera fixed onto a track to moved steadily to film something like some one walking/ running.

Crane: moving shot from a fixed position but so the camera can go very high.
Zoom: obviously zooming/focusing in and out with the camera on a particular subject matter

Handheld: not as steady with hand with no tripod. e.g the Bourne Superamacy and the Bourne Ultimatum did the whole film just handheld.

The shot we take needs to incorporate the foreground and background. Consider location when shooting. 

Framing: we need to use rule of thirds to section each part of the shot. Usually used for dramatic effect. 
Depth of field- wide(everything in focus)and narrow(small part in focus)

Bullet-Time: slow motion arc shot (multiple cameras)
