Here are the different camera angles used to compose a shot.
1. Low Angle:
The camera is positioned below the subject, and is pointing up at them. Makes them appear more powerful and dominant. An extreme variation of this shot is called 'worm's eye view',
which is usually from the ground.
2. High Angle:
The camera is positioned above the subject, and points below at them. Makes them appear weak and vulnerable. An extreme variation of this shot is the 'Ariel Shot' , which is used to establish environment, often from a great height.
3. Overhead:
The camera is placed 90 degree above the subject, also known as a 'bird's eye view'. Can be used to show complex movement, or to show details of the surroundings of a subject.
4. Dutch Tilt:
The camera tilts on its horizontal axis and no longer is parallel to the horizon. This creates unease and bewilderment.
5. Eye Level:
Commonly used height of the camera and creates a natural relationship with the character. The camera is at the eye level of the character.
