After looking back over my notes from last week's 'Cine-Speak' lecture, I still wasn't 100% sure about some of their meanings so I have found some more examples:
Headroom Shot
Well I guess it doesn't get much clearer than that!
Talking Room
When a person is talking and they are not directly facing the camera, extra space is left in front of them as if space was left to insert a dialogue box. (http://www.wnylc.net/pdf/star-watch/NovDec03Newsletter.pdf) I couldn't find any pictures by searching talking room, so hopefully this is ACTUALLY an example of it.
Rule of Thirds
The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal part and is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points. The main reason for observing the rule of thirds is to discourage placement of the subject at the center, or prevent a horizon from appearing to divide the picture in half. (Wikipedia)
The 180' Rule
This schematic shows the axis between two characters and the 180° arc on which cameras may be positioned (green). When cutting from the green arc to the red arc, the characters switch places on the screen. (Wikipedia)
