Camera Angles

This document describes different camera angles and their purposes: - High shots make subjects look small and insignificant, while low angles make them look big and powerful by forcing the viewer to look up. - Wide shots show both the subject and their environment, making them seem small. - Close ups enable viewers to understand a subject's emotions by framing their face. - Over the shoulder shots capture conversations from one subject's perspective. - Eye shots show a character's emotion without revealing their full appearance.
