6. Footage - raw, unedited material as it has been originally recorded.
7. High angle - a camera angle that shows the subject from above; camera is angled down towards the subject; not as extreme as bird's eye view.
8. Low angle - a camera angle that shows the subject from below; camera is angled up towards the subject.
9. Over the shoulder - a camera angle that looks at the talking subject from the listener's perspective, literally over the shoulder.
