what do the abbreviations GV SV SCU TS CU mean in filming?

The terms you're looking for apply to filming, but many also apply to
general photography as well. These abbreviations are all camera
'shots', and you'd often find them abbreviated in screenplays and shot
summaries. There are a number of good research sites for this, the two
most helpful I found were:

A Basic Glossary of Film Terms

CinemaSense

Below is the expansion and a brief description of the abbreviations
you're seeking.

search keywords to track down these descriptions:
photography shot abbreviation CU
