Types of shots

Today in class we spoke about how shots are taken and how long they last .
We watched a clip from Hot Fuzz, this was a really good example as it showed varies of shots, which included:

Long shots
Short shots
Close-ups
Canted angle
Mid-shot
Wide-shot
Self-held

We also looked at the timing of each shot, most of the shots last 2/3/4 seconds to build impact/suspension etc..

I think for the genre that I'm doing, I will be using a lot of close-ups, long shots, wide-shots and canted angle shots. I think that I will be using very fast clips for impact as well.
