Different camera angles are used in film and photography to create different effects and convey meaning to the audience. Establishing shots set the scene, eye-level shots show perspectives, mid shots enable seeing faces and bodies, extreme close-ups show emotion, high angles indicate less power making subjects seem small, and low angles make characters seem more powerful by having others look up to them.
