In today’s lesson, I learnt about all
different camera angles that are used in everyday life and which are used by
professional photographers. Here are some definitions of different angles and
why they are affective.
A high angle shot, is when the camera is located above the eye line. A high angle shot, is usually used to make the
subject look smaller and less powerless then what it actually is. High angle shots are
usually used in film to make the moment more dramatic or if there is someone at
a high level that the other person is talking to.
A close up shot is mainly used to concentrate on a face or a very
little part of a background. A Flat angle shot is when the camera is usually on
the same level as the subject. A close up shot is usually used to show a
certain expression on the subjects face.
A low angle shot,
is a shot in which the camera is lower than the eye level A shot being taken
from below the eyelevel, subject appears larger and suggests a feeling of
power. ,
is a picture from
a camera positioned low on the
vertical axis, anywhere below the eye.
In the extreme wide shot and the wide shot is to show the
subject's surroundings. The point of this shot is so that the subject is still
visible but the surroundings take over the photo. In
the extreme wide shot, the view is so far from the subject that s/he isn't even
visible. The point of this shot is to show the subject's surroundings
