Camera Angles

                     Camera Angles:

    

Straight-on Angle Shotà A straight on angle shot is the most common angle used, an angle that is at eye line level facing straight on to the subject. This shot is used for a number of effects and techniques. A fairly neutral shot; the camera is positioned as though it is through observation .For example, the actors heads are on a level with the focus of the camera. The camera will be placed approximately five to six feet from the ground (average height).

 Low Angle Shot à It can increase height of the subject or actor, the added height of the object may produce domination in the scene if someone is looking upwards. Moreover, low angles can also give a sense of powerlessness within the action of a scene. The background of a low angle shot will tend to be just sky or ceiling; there will be a lack of detail about the setting adding to the mystery of where the scene could be.

High Angle Shot àA high angle shot is similar to a bird's eye view or establishing shot, but not as extreme. The camera is elevated above the action using a crane to give an overview. High angles make the object

 seem smaller, and less significant  or inferior o the action above. The subject or character often is minimised by the setting - they become part of a wider picture.
