Low Angle
A low angle shot is where the camera is below the subject's eye-line but not quite on the floor. It is often used to show how this person is superior in some way or to show how menacing they are. Eye-Level An eye-level shot is when the camera is level with the eyes of the character. This is often used when characters are staring straight into the camera and using direct address or when the director wants to capture the reaction of the character well. High Angle A high angle shot is where the camera is pointing down at the subject but is not directly above the subject. It is often used to show hope or the sense of being watched or looked down upon... perhaps being judged by God? Worm's Eye A Worm's eye shot is where the camera is on the floor almost directly below the character, looking up at it. this is usually used to show how big the subject is and how menacing it is. Canted Angle A canted angle (also known as a Dutch angle) is when the camera is slightly tilted to one side and is often used to give the audience the sense that something isn't right in the shot. Bird's eye A birds eye is when the camera is directly above the character an gives the same sort of feeling as a high angle shot. It also means that the audience can see more of the scene from a different perspective. The Youtube video underneath describes some of these angles as well as the shots from my last post as well as some of the camera movements that I also know. It gives you an example of each!
