Camera angles

Camera Angles

Over the shoulder:























Enables the audience to see the action between two characters over the shoulder. The audience then can see the expressions from both characters.




Low angle and high angles:























The camera points up towards the character, it gives audience the idea that the character has power and is bigger than the other character or the audience.

When the camera is looking down on the character it makes them look vulnerable and threatened. It makes them look smaller and weak.





Camera Movements:
