Types of camera angles
There are several types of camera shots and movements that can be used in film and media to convey different meanings or perspectives. A close up shot focuses on a small object or person's face to make them the focal point. A high angle shot looks down on a subject, making them seem small and vulnerable. A low angle shot looks up at a subject, making them appear powerful. Camera movements like pans, tilts, dolly shots and crane shots can follow or reveal action, while hand held shots provide a gritty, immersive feel. Zoom lenses allow changing magnification without moving the camera.
