The document discusses different camera angles and distances that can be used to convey meaning and highlight important moments. It provides examples of aerial shots from above to show settings, high camera angles looking down to make subjects seem small or weak, eye-level shots to focus on expressions, low camera angles looking up to make subjects appear powerful. It also discusses extreme long shots to show large events, two-person shots to highlight conversations, long shots to show full-body actions, and close-ups to draw attention to facial reactions.

4. High camera angle The high angle shot is the opposite of the low angle shot. The camera is placed above the subject and tilted to look down on the subject. This type of shot is sometimes called a bird's eye view. You can use it to create a sense of smallness in the subject or to show that the audience has a sense of looking over the subjects from a superior position. It also shows the subject in a moment of weakness, to show sadness or loss of power It was used in captain America to show a sign of weakness as someone is loosing a fight. We will use this when showing people jump off things to show the extreme of the jump and panic in the chase

6. Low camera angle This shot shows the audience a view looking up at a subject. The camera is placed on the ground or floor and tilted to look up.

10.
