An establishing shot is like an opening image.

MEDIUM SHOT
A medium shot in film making is a standard shot that shows any character from the waist to above the head. Unlike a close up the medium shot gives more breathing space to the actor.
Two- shot capture of two actors
A two shot can either be a form of a medium shot that has two actors standing or sitting next to each other or an over-the-shoulder shot where one actor's back or profile is closer to the camera than the other actor facing the camera. A two shot can save money when you have a dialogue scene between two actors by having them both in the frame as they continue the conversation. The audiences attention swiftly moves to each actor as they speak, instead of having the camera cut to the individual shots of each actor speaking.
CLOSE UP
A close up shot is usually above a person's chest or the back of his/her neck to just slightly above the top of his/her their head. The more the camera goes closer that is a tight-close up. When you go in even tighter, to a person's eyes or mouth that's an extreme close-up. The directors put in a close up to emphasize the intensity of a scene.
HIGH & LOW CAMERA ANGLES IN THE FILM SHOTS
A high angle is usually a shot that is of someone standing on a hill, or looking out a window of a high-rise to get an angle looking down. Low angle is from the bottom of the actors height.
THE GOD SHOT
AKA
BIRDS EYES VIEW
In a God shot, the camera looks straight down on a scene showing the audience the bigger picture. This can be an interior shot or a very effective exterior shot from the sky. It is often used in films to remind us that a central character is human and sometimes insignificant. To actually accomplish a God shot, you'll need a camera crane or if you want to save money just do a shot looking down from a tall structure.

Character Analysis
My character was a nurse that came back from holiday and returned to the hospital just about to sign in. My character was feeling relaxed, stress-free, care-free, happy. She bumped into her colleagues and as a result she ended up talking to her fellow colleagues about her holidays. My interpretation of the character's emotions will be shown through my body language and facial reactions and expressions. I move quite secretive and discrete. Yes I believe my actions as the actor reflected the characters current state of emotions. With the long shot we had done I understood the patience and focus that is required of an actor while on set
