This document discusses various camera angles and shots used in filmmaking. It defines low-angle shots as shots taken from below eye level to make a subject appear powerful, close-ups as shots filmed close to a subject's face or item, and establishing shots as wide shots indicating where the action will take place. It also briefly explains panning shots, point-of-view shots, two shots, and framing shots.

1. Camera Angles
By Rob Nicholas

2. Low-Angle Shot
 This is a shot that is filmed low on the vertical axis.
It is filmed from below the subject’s eye line and is
used to make them look strong or powerful.

3. Close-Up
 A close-up is filmed close to the face or item that is
in the frame.

4. Establishing Shot
 Establishing shots indicate where the action will
take place. It is usually the first shot of a new scene
and is normally a wide or extreme wide shot.

5. More Shots
 Panning shot - when the camera operator stays still
but the camera moves to follow the action or
moving object, e.g. a vehicle
 Point-of-View shot - This is when the camera shot is
viewed as if through the eyes of a character,
often/normally the protagonist
 Two shot – when there are two people in the shot
 Framing shot – using a piece of set or scenery to
frame a shot
