In the film Minority Report there were many use of different camera shots to relay a different messages. Below are some examples of the camera shots used.

Aerial Shot: A shot taken from a crane, plane, or helicopter. Not necessarily a moving shot.

Backlighting: The main source of light is behind the subject, silhouetting it, and directed toward the camera.

Bridging Shot: A shot used to cover a jump in time or place or other discontinuity. Examples are falling calendar pages, railroad wheels, newspaper headlines, and seasonal changes

Camera Angle: The angle at which the camera is pointed at the subject: Low High Tilt

Cut: The splicing of 2 shots together. this cut is made by the film editor at the editing stage of a film. Between sequences the cut marks a rapid transition between one time and space and another, but depending on the nature of the cut it will have different meanings.
