Examples of Camera Angles:
-In cinematography, a low-angle shot is a shot from a camera angle positioned anywhere below the eye line, pointing upward.
Low angle shots give you:
They can make a hero seem powerful
They can make a hero seem vulnerable
They can increase perceived height of an object
-A high angle shot is when the camera looks down on the character or subject from an elevated perspective. This is usually achieved by placing the camera higher than the subject and then angling it down on them
Why use a high angle shot?
Convey Narrative Information
Elicit Emotional Response
Convey Character Information
-An overhead shot is when the camera is placed directly above the subject. It's somewhere around a 90-degree angle above the scene taking place. Overhead shots are also called a bird view, bird's eye view, or elevated shot.
-Worms eye view photography is a point of view in photography where the image is captured from a very low angle with camera pointing towards the top.
-An eye level shot refers to when the level of your camera is placed at the same height as the eyes of the characters in your frame. An eye level camera angle does not require the viewer to see the eyes of the actor, nor does the actor need to look directly into the camera for a shot to be considered eye level.
-A Dutch angle (known as a Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle) is a type of camera shot that has a noticeable tilt on the camera’s “x-axis.”
What to consider when planning a Dutch angle shot:
The degree of your tilt
The depth of field for your shot
The vertical level of your view
