Camera angles and shots

There are many possible camera angles that can be used in the film industry. Here are some of the camera angles which we can use while filming:

                                                      Establishing shot 

This shot is usually taken outside the place
where the action is taking place.
This is shot is very important as it clearly
shows the audience where everything
is taking place, to avoid confusion.




Close up

This is a close up shot. It usually
zooms up on the face or an item.
This camera shot is very important
as it will show the facial features
and facial expressions of a person.




Low angle shot

This camera shot is taken from
below an actor or set. The use of this
shot, causes the person or item to
look large and intimidating.






High angle shot
This shot is taken from above the
actor. The use of this angle makes
actor look innocent and vulnerable.






Tracking shot

The tracking shot is where the
camera operator moves along side
the action. This shot adds excitement
and helps the audience see what
happens as it travels next to the
actors.



Point of view shot

With point of view shot, the camera
is positioned so its as if you are seeing
through the eyes of the actor. This
camera shot is very effective as it
makes it more exciting for the audience,
as you can see what the actor is seeing.



                                                         Framing shot

In this shot its using a piece of set or
scenery to frame a shot. This makes
the audience focus on exactly
what they need to be.
