The document discusses different types of camera shots and angles used in filmmaking and their psychological effects. A long shot captures the full body and setting, establishing atmosphere. A high-angle shot makes the subject seem small and vulnerable. A low-angle shot makes the subject look powerful. A two-shot shows the relationship between two subjects. A point-of-view shot shows the scene from the subject's perspective. Medium close-ups show the torso and shoulders. Establishing shots set the scene. Close-ups focus on the face. Extreme close-ups show details like eyes and mouth to convey emotion. Over-the-shoulder shots are used in conversations.
