Camera angles

Camera angles

1. Overhead shot: camera is directly above or overhead the object or scene facing down

2. High angle shot: shot is taken when the camera is above and looking down on the scene or object but not directly above. This makes the object look lacking in power.

3. Eye level shot: camera is level with the object or figure. This angle is most like a normal eye-view of the scene and tends to suggest a 'real-life' effect

4. Low angle shot: shot is taken when camera is below or looking up at the object or figure. Makes it look large and powerful.

5. Undershot: shot is taken when camera is directly beneath the object or figure. This angle can suggest extreme power or danger
