  5. Over the shoulder • The over the shoulder shot is used for longer conversations, and establishes near eye contact between the subject and the viewer, over the shoulder of another subject. With two cameras (or two takes), you can cut back and forth between the over the shoulder shot of one subject to the over the shoulder shot of the other. The viewer has more of a sense of being involved in the conversation

  6. Eye level shot • The camera is at the eye level of the subject (not that of the camera operator). If the subjects are sitting down, the camera must be lowered to be at eye level. • Eye level shots put the viewer on an equal status with the subject.

  7. High angle shot • The high angle shot looks down on the subject. As the words imply, it puts the viewer in a superior position to the subject, or conversely, it makes the subject appear weak or inferior.

  8. Low angle shot • The low angle shot, in contrast, looks up at the subject. This gives the subject the appearance of strength or power.
