CAMERA ANGLES

Bird's eye view-

This adds to audience appeal giving the audience a different view of the action.

              

Over the shoulder



This shot allows you to establish the location and the action. 

The over the shoulder shot looks like somebody is following the person placing the audience in position of the character.


   
                                                  

Long shot

Medium close up

                           This shot brings focus to the characters.

Worm's eye view

   

This shot is often used to  indicate fear it allows the audience to view events from a character's vulnerable perspective. 

Tilt shot

This shot is to show confusion and disorientation sometimes indicating a nightmare.

Extreme close up

This is used to closely identify with a character or with an action. It is often used to symbolise horror in a film. For example the close up of Marion Crane's dead eye in "Psycho".

High angle

This is the kind of shot you would use to show insignificance or vulnerability.

Low angle

This one gives the opposite effect to the high angle shot as this one gives the character a status of power and menace.
