The document discusses different camera angles and shots, including high angles, low angles, crane shots, aerial shots, close ups, and pans. High angles make characters seem weak while low angles make them seem powerful. Crane shots capture wide establishing shots from high above. Aerial shots provide an extreme high angle birds-eye view. Close ups emphasize expressions and emotions. Pans follow moving subjects horizontally.

2. High Angle
The image used here shows a
high angle used upon the
actor. The high angle shot has
been used to connote that the
character seems weak and
powerless in this scene. The
audience get the attention that
this character is being looked
down upon.

3. Low Angle
The low angle shot used in this scene shows two
actors being looked up upon. This may give the
audience the ignition that they are seen to be a
dominant figure within the scene, which may reveal
strong, fearful and powerful connotations within their
characteristic figure.

4. Crane Shot
The Crane Shot is a shot taken from a very high angle. The
shot is often used to show a small setting or small location.
The shot is taken from a high up crane in which health and
safety aspects must be considered before the process is
done.

5. Aerial Shot
The aerial shot is an extreme version of a high angle take
from a birds eye view. The shot is used as an establishing
shot to show a much wider location or setting. The example
below shows an aerial shot of New York City.

6. Close Up/Zoom in
The image here presents a close up upon the characters
face. This shot is used to present the characters expression
or emotion towards a specific aspect. In this image the
close up has been used to emphasize that this character is
sad and very emotional in the scene.

7. Pan/Whip Pan
The Pan camera movement is used when the camera
moves in a horizontal direction. In this image the camera is
using a Pan/Whip Pan to keep on track and follow the
direction of the biker as the image seems quite
disorientated in the background.
