Camera Angles by robin

Firstly we researched what camera shots and angles there are:

High angle: A high angle shot is usually when the camera is located above the eyeline






Low angle: A low-angle shot, is a s from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eyeline, looking up.







Dutch angle:Dutch tilt, Dutch angle, oblique angle, German angle, canted angle, or Batman Angle are terms used for a cinematic tactic often used to portray the psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed








Birds-eye angle:A Bird's eye shot refers to a shot looking directly down on the subject











Long shot:A long shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings







Medium shot: A medium shot is a camera shot from a medium distance.








Close-up:A close-up tightly frames a person or an object






Over the Shoulder shot:Is a shot of someone or something taken over the shoulder of another person





Point of view shot: Shows directly what the character is looking at






Reverse shot:Is defined as a 180-degree camera turn to the preceding image, common in point of view and over the shoulder (in the latter, care must be applied to avoid a continuity error by violating the 180 degree rule









Two shot: This is where two people are in the picture







Establishing shot:This is established by given a broad overview of the entire scene





Angles in our piece:

We then decide on which angles we would use in our peice

These are the camera angles we will use in our main piece, we decided on most of these whilst doing our practice filming.

Here is a detailed list with pictures of which angles we will use:

Low angle shot-Opening scene approaching centre

High angle shot-Kidnapping scene

Close up-Opening scene when Fogul notices the camera

The two shot- While Harry and Leeroy are talking
