Angles and Movement

Angles:

High angle- 
  1. In film, a high angle shot is usually when the camera angle is located above the eyeline. With this type of angle, the camera looks down on the subject and the point of focus often get "swallowed up" by the setting.


    Canted angle -

     A camera angle which is deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to help portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness.


    Low angle -

    "Low Angle" is the name for this kind of shot, because the camera islow. It's useful because it can make people look powerful.




    Movement:

    Pan-  to photograph or televise while rotating a camera on its vertical or horizontal axis in order to keep a moving person or object in view or allow the film to record a panorama





    Tilt- Moving the cameras lens up or down while keeping its horizontal axis constant



    Track- In motion picture terminology, the term tracking shot may refer to a shot in which the camera is mounted on a camera dolly, a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails while the picture is being taken


    Dolly- is a specialised piece of filmmaking and television production equipment designed to create smooth camera movements

    Zooming -involves changing the focal length of the lens to make the subject appear closer or further away in the frame.




    Reverse zoom - Also called reverse angle. Happens when a shot is taken at a 120-180 degree angle from the preceding shot, thus showing the reverse of what was previously on screen
