Camera Angles #7

 

Great to see you again!

        Camera angles are one of the other important parts of filming in alongside camera shots. These are essential because they give the situations a deeper meaning and different points of view. The different angles that I have learned in class are canted angles, low angles, and high angles. 

Canted (Dutch) Angles

         Canted angles convey a sense of unease. The angle represents a lack of control. From these perspectives, we can observe how a character's mindset starts to deteriorate and change.

High Angle

        This viewpoint emphasizes how small a subject or object may be. It can display vulnerability or weakness, but it never maintains control over the situation. This may be a reflection of the characters' sense of worth in that scene. 

Low Angle

        Low angles, as opposed to high angles, show boldness and power. This might convey the character's feelings following an event; generally, we can notice a change in attitude or evidence of their intelligence.
