The purpose of a low angle is
to make the audience feel as
if the object or person in the

and importance. This is a
statue and could symbolise
something important so by
using this shot, it emphasises
this idea.
15. High Angle.
A high angle is to make a
person or object seem less
important and weak. I choose
this statue because it is of a
women crying so I thought that
the angle would emphasis this.
