CAMERA ANGLE (PLACEMENT)COURTESY OF JACKIE RYGG
The camera angle or commonly called “camera placement” marks the specific location at which a camera is placed to take a shot.
Different camera angles give a different viewing experience and can give a different emotion for the viewer.
Camera angle informs the audience of their position to the story

OVERHEAD OR HIGH ANGLE SHOT This shot is looking “down” on someone. The camera looks down, making the
subject look vulnerable or insignificant. This angle gives the exact opposite
feeling from a low angle. High angles make the object photographed seem smaller, and less significant.
A camera is located above the eyeline.
