Shot Types for Shotlist

I am working on my shotlist for my completed script.

Currently, these are the shot types that I am aware of.

Extreme Wide Shots (EWS)
Wide Shots (WS)
Medium Shots (MS)
Medium Close Ups (MCU)
Close Ups (CU)
Extreme Close Ups (ECU)
Two Shot
Cut Away (CA)
Over the Shoulder Shots (OSS)
Point of View (POV)
Selective Focus



I feel like there are probably a lot more that I am missing. Anyone care to name off a few along with a description or example?
 
Over the Shoulder is always referred to as OTS, not OSS. OSS was the secret service in World War II that became the CIA.
