My Camera Work: Camera Angles

Camera Angles

    Camera angles is the way the cinematographer moves and places the camera to take a shot. This act gives the film more dimension, creates a different experience in each shot, and provides the emotions needed for that certain shot. 

 

    These two angles (high angle and low angle) usually go hand and hand with one another. The low angle here is a bully kicking a girl on the ground. This shows that the bully is a dominant force and aggressor in this scene. The high angle is the bully's eyesight, kicking the girl. This shows the weakness of the girl and conveys a sense of submission or weakness.
