CAMERA SHOTS AND ANGLES

                                           
                                                                 HIGH ANGLE 


A high angle shot is usually when the camera is above the eye line looking down. high angles are usually used to show some one as powerless,vulnerable and weak.a high angle is used to do this because it looks down on the character making them appear smaller thus weaker.

CLOSE UP 



In the closeup shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face.Close-ups are useful for showing detail and can also be used as a cut in.A close-up of a person emphasizes their emotional state. A close-up exaggerates facial expressions which convey emotion.The viewer is drawn into the subject's personal space and shares their feelings.

LONG SHOT 


A long shot provides an extended view of the scene around the character. It contains landscape but gives the viewer a more specific idea of setting. A long shot may show the viewers the building where the action will take place.

LOW ANGLE 


This shows the subject from below, giving them the impression of being more powerful or dominant. This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at the character. This can help the responder feel empathy if they are viewing the frame from another character's point of view.

POINT OF VIEW SHOT 


This shot shows a view from the subject's perspective. In a POV, we appear to look through the eyes of a character, we see what they see.This technique is often used in the horror and thriller genres, to suggest someone spying on someone else, while withholding the identity of the 'spy'.

EXTREME CLOSE UP 


The extreme close up shot is traditionally used in films to allow the viewer to enter the characters intimate space,revealing certain characteristics and emotions that would otherwise would be unnoticed from far.
