Camera Shots and Angles

Before being able to start to film or film we had to make sure we understood all the different camera shots and angles so that our film can be much more appealing to the eyes of our audience.
There are a variety of camera shots and angles that you can use in your film to make interesting for your audience. For example if a character is crying you may choose to use a close up to bring out that emotion and make your audience feel that characters emotion. Or if you are trying to  create tension in a scene then you can have a variety of shots and make them fast past.
The camera angles that we can use are:
  • Eye-Level:This is the most common view, being the real-world angle that we are all used to

  • High Angle:A high angle shows the subject from above

  • Low Angle:This shows the subject from below

  • Bird's Eye: The scene is shown from directly above. This is a completely different and somewhat unnatural point of view which can be used for dramatic effect or for showing a different spatial perspective.

  • Slanted: Also known as a dutch tilt, this is where the camera is purposely tilted to one side so the horizon is on an angle. This creates an interesting and dramatic effect


Here are the different types of camera shots that can be used:
we have the: Mid shot, two shot, close up, wide shot and extreme close up.
