Camera training: Still images

High angle: This camera angle shows both insignificance and vulnerability when shooting a movie. This makes the audience either have less respect or feel distressed for the character.

 Low angle: This camera angle shows power, status or menace when shooting a movie. This makes the audience fear or/and have respect for the character.

Over the shoulder: This camera angle is used to show that somebody is following the character or it is used to put the audience in the characters position.

Tilt: This camera angle in a film shows confusion, disorientation or a a nightmare. This type of shot is normally used to show that something bad is going to happen or is currently happening.

Long shot: This type of angle tends to be used to establish location or action within a film. Long shots are good for showing depth and giving a general idea of what is happening within the scene.

Medium close up: This type of shot is good for bringing focus to the characters face.

Close up: This camera angle allows the audience to develop a better view and understanding of the characters emotion in the scene.

Extreme close up: This angle is used to closely identify characters or action within a film. This tends to be used in thriller movies to establish horror, more than any other films.

Bird's eye view: This shot is used purely to give the audience a different view of the action that is occurring in the scene.


Worm's eye view: This camera angle is mostly used to show fear. It allows the audience to view events from one of the characters vulnerable perspectives.  

Rule of thirds:
