  1. 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

  2. Camera Angle • Understanding how to take different shots: The height and position of the camcorder in relation to the subject has a big influence on how the final picture will look. • The following will help you understand some of the basic camera angles

  3. Five Camera Positions • For the beginner, there are five basic camera position to use when you make your camera shots: • 1.) Ground Level • 2.) Waist • 3.) Chest • 4.) Shoulder • 5.) Overhead

  4. Ground Level – Low angle shot • The camera points upwards, anywhere below the eye line looking up, usually making the subject or setting seem grand or threatening. • Low Angle Shot – Subject looks powerful or threatening (child to adult view)

  5. Ground Level or Low Angle Shot

  6. Waist – used for someone who is sitting

  7. Shoulder – “eye” level – normal – The most common and neutral of angles. • The camera is positioned as thought it is a human actually observing a scene. • Camera is face on commonly called face-to-face view. • Neutral Shot – Subject is equal in power to the veiwer

  8. Shoulder or Neutral shot

  9. 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.

  10. Overhead or High Angle Shot

  11. Other Useful Shots • 1.) Over the shoulder Shot • 2.) Establishing a Shot • 3.) Point of View Shot

  12. Over the Shoulder Shot • A shot of someone or something taken over the shoulder of another person. • The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of what the camera is pointing toward. • This type of shot is very common when two people characters are having a discussion.

  13. Over the Shoulder Shot

  14. Establishing a Shot • A broad overview shot which helps the audience place the characters in their setting. • This shot is often followed by the Over The Shoulder Shot

  15. Establishing Shot

  16. A Point of View Shot • A shot which shows the viewer what the subject sees through his or her eyes- a view from the subjects perspective. • It is usually edited in such a way that it is obvious who’s point of view it is.
