Medium shot: A medium shot is basically just a shot at medium range from the character(s), however it can be controversial whether a shot of the whole body is classed as a medium shot, as some studies say that it is only above the waist for the shot to be classified under that category. An example of this is down below:

Long shot: A long shot is mainly a shot that shows the entire human body, while being placed as a part of the surrounding area, making it further away from the mody than a shot such as a meduim shot. Here is an example of a long shot:


Extreme long shot/ Establishing shot: And extreme long shot and an establishing shot are two different types of shots however they do fall under the same category.

Canted Tilt/Dutch Tilt: This type of shot is basically makes the camera angle meet the vertical axis of the side of the frame, making the camera in essence seem wonky. The use of this camera angle in an urban environment makes the urban setting seem more apparent as such (in some cases). The link to this will show you an example:
