Stage lighting has multiple functions, including focusing audience attention to areas of the stage, setting mood, and establishing location and time of day. Camera angles, whether low or high, influence audience interpretation, with low angles looking up and high angles looking down. Camera shots, such as point of view and bridging shots, also shape audience perceptions, with point of view showing a scene from a character's perspective and bridging shots representing jumps in time, place, or other discontinuities.
