CAMERA POSITfON AND ANGLE
Camera position and angle Screen effect
Basic angle
Low angle
High angle
The camera person stands,
keeping the camera at eye
level with the subject.
This angle is used when
the subject is higher than
eye level.
This angle is used for
subjects below eye level.
• This angle provides the most stable
appearance on the screen and should be used
as much as possible.
• People appear taller from this angle and the
impression is given that they are domineering
and overpowering.
• In a thriller type production, feelings of terror
or anxiety can be created.
• Used to shoot large numbers of people,
flowers, etc., so each can be seen.
• Can be used to emphasize feelings of
smallness and distance.
