The 5 C's.

Camera Angles
Continuity
Cutting (editing)
Close ups
Composition.

When telling the audience where the film is set, they use long shot. This lets you show all the important information.




A medium shot is the most commonly used shot in cinema. It is used to show any character interaction.




Something/someone important to show the audience use a close up.

Continuity
Generally refers to visual errors. In very basic terms it means having a character in a red top one second and a blue top the next.
Cutting/Editing
Essential otherwise films would be in real time and never end. It also allows the director to change locations. The main use is to either add pace to a scene to make it exciting, or to slow it down for dramatic emphasis.
