In today's post I am going to focus on different types of camera angles. Camera angels are really important when it comes to creating a film. There are many types of camera shots and every each of them can be used in different scenes creating it's own unique atmosphere. The knowledge about camera angles is essential for my video review that I have chosen to do as my final project. I have decided that I will use shots from the films that I have watched to use them as examples.
High Angle Shot
In High Angle Shot we see the subject from above; very often in that type of shot we can spot characters looking up at something (mountain, skyscraper etc and we can see them from the perspective of the subject characters are looking at). It is also used in scenes when a parent is looking at their children.
Low Angle Shot
In Low Angle Shot we see the subject by looking up to it. This shot is very often used to show the perspective of the child looking at their parent. It is also use to underline a contrast between someone that is in charge and someone who is in the weaker position.
Over The Shoulder Shot
Over The Shoulder Shot like the name suggests shows the subject from someone's shoulder perspective. Shot can be used to show the connection between the characters.
Close-Up Shot
In Close-Up Shot in the frame we can spot only the face of the character; there is no background only the subject that director wanted to focus on. Very often it is use to show the emotions of the character; fear, anxiety.
Bird's Eye View Shot
Bird's Eye View Shot is different from the High Angle Shot. The look at the subject is placed even higher; it is used very often in the scenes of couples laying on the floor/bed. It can strengthen the feeling of love or dreaminess.
Ground Level Shot
Ground Level Shot shows the subject from the ground/floor. It is very often used to create strange/unknown atmosphere in the film.
