Linear shots usually involve a camera tracking someone or something's movements. They require very little editing as they are usually one continuous shot. These are often used in music videos and are also sometimes used when introducing a character.
An example of a linear shot could be a character walking down the street. The camera will track his movements at a medium distance and will stay like that for the duration of the shot. This is used a few times near the start of Shaun of the Dead.
