Research: Camera angles

This research was helpful to do, but camera angles have there limitations as one of the camera angles explained here requires a craned camera which is something we don’t have. Apart from that this researched helped us a lot to position the camera and help us capture and focus on what we wanted the audience to see.

The angle from which a shot is taken is another way to give variety as well as information. A high-angle shot positions the camera above eye-level, looking down on the subject, which consequently appears insignificant, weak, helpless, or small according to how extreme the angle is. At eye-level, the impression is neutral. A low-angle shot has the camera looking up at the subject, which then appears important, powerful, or domineering, again depending on how exaggerated the angle is. Usually the camera looks at the subject, but occasionally the camera shows what the subject is seeing. The is a reverse-angle shot.
