Camera angles


Angles can influence the audience and tell them more about a story or the characters. I have Studied the different angles types below.


A normal camera angle is aimed at eye level and suggests the subject is on our level and equal to us.



A high angle shot is where the camera is aimed above the subject and can help make it look and feel small, unimportant, afraid or vulnerable.



low angle shot is where the camera is below the subject and can help make it seem tall, powerful, important or frightening.





distorted angle may be used to make a scene more frightening, or to make the viewer feel anxious, or queasy (especially if fast or jerky camera movement is also used).





Camera Movements

Pan is short for panorama. Holding the camera in one place you rotate the camera to capture a shot that reveals a large view. This type of shot is sometimes used to establish the setting that the scene will take place in.





Tracking is the movement of a camera beside the subject. The key to a good tracking shot is slow steady movement. Other tracking methods use a wheelchair with the camera person sitting while someone pushes.
