Camera angles

In lessons we learnt about different camera angles and how they effect the audiences perception on characters.

A high angled shot - this shot looks down onto the character creating a sense that the character appears weak or vulnerable.

Low angled shot - this is where the camera looks up and the character is shown from below making the character look more powerful or threatening

A two shot - shows two people together to show a relationship between two people or a conversation.

A long shot - This shot can portray someone as being isolated or alone. It is also used to set the scene, when this shot shows a scene it is called an establishing shot.

A close up shot - As this shot is close up the the character it is easier to tell the emotions of the character and their thoughts.
