THIS IS A LOW ANGLE SHOT.

Definition: low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eyeline, looking up. The trunk shot is a specialised type of low-angle shot.

Its normally a shot looking up at a character or subject often making them look bigger in the frame. It can make everyone look heroic or dominant.

THIS IS THE ESTABLISHING SHOT 

Definition: its generally a long/ extremely long shot at the beginning of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place.

A shot, at the head of the scene, that clearly shows the location the action is set in. Often comes after the aerial shot. Establishing shots may use famous landmarks to indicate the city where the action is taking place for example the Eiffel tower to show it being placed in Paris. 

Example: The first glimpse of the prison in The Shaw shank Redemption.

THIS IS A COWBOY SHOT.

Definition: From the framing of cinema shots in Westerns, where the holster and gun needed to be in view along with the actor's face.

A shot framed from mid thigh up, so called because of its recurrent use in Westerns. When it comes, you know something big is going to happen. 

example: The three-way standoff in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966).
