Camera Angles

Last lesson we learnt all about the different camera angles used in the film industry. We can use these variety of shots in our own work, to create a professional final product. Experimenting with different camera angles, we captured a selection of different shots to see the outcome and see which ones look the most interesting. 

Low-Angle Shot

Camera pointing upwards from a low position. A commonly used camera angle in films.

High-Angle Shot

Camera pointing downwards from a high position. Essentially the opposite of a low-angle shot.

Tracking
Where the camera follows the subject usually at eye-level. Can be filmed at any direction, in this case, from the back.

Long Shot

Filming the subject from a long distance. Gives the shot a good depth of field.

Panning
Slowly moving the camera around a pivot to generate a panoramic view of the landscape.

These shots can be found in many movies, and will be key in making my video productions look professional in the near future.
