one point perspective – the shot is set up to direct the viewers attention to a particular point (vanishing point). Kubrick used this to make things seem bigger and infinite.

“A one-point perspective shot is when all the horizontal lines in your frame, if you were to extend them infinitely, would disappear into a point, usually at the center of the frame. That’s the vanishing point.” – New York Film Academy (Feb 2018)

steady cam – use of a camera stabilizer, used to keep camera steady and allow for a smooth shot.

deep focus – everything within the shot is in focus. fore-ground , middle-ground and background in focus.

symmetrical composition – both sides of the shot are mirror images of each other or extremely similar. Creates aesthetically pleasing shots.
