Camera Angles

Tilted Shot
A tilted shot is used to make a dramatic effect just by tilting the camera. It can create an effect of madness or desperation. As you can see, my friend's expression is of realization and confusion due to the fact he saw his grades. The tilt makes his realization more cinematic.


Over the Shoulder Shot
An over the shoulder shot is typically used for dialogue scenes, and the camera is positioned behind one person to focus on another. In this photo, you can see my friend putting up signs toward my other friend. It seems that he is explaining something complex to him. This shot was taken a few days ago.

Low-Angle Shot
A low angle shot is filmed from below, looking up at a subject. This makes the subject of the photo taken look large in size, strong, and powerful. I took this photo of my friend that is 6 Ft tall to show how big he is compared to the normal student. His pose in the photo makes him look like a big, friendly giant.

High-Angle Shot
A high angle shot is used to make the subject look vulnerable and weak. Clearly, in this photo of myself, I am visibly afraid, looking up at something above me. This makes me look weak and frail. My hands are also up meaning that I surrender.

POV Shot
A POV Shot is used to show a view from a subject's perspective, and show what they're looking at. As you can see, my friend is punching me, and I am putting up my hand to block it. This shows my perspective of his attack, which you can see he is coming at me from the front and side.
