Camara angles

The types of camera angles.

Birds eye view: it puts the audience above the action where things can look add an unnatural view of the action but can help to set the scene like a battle or a location. It also puts the audience in a godlike position above the action, making the subjects look insignificant.

High angle: it puts the audience above the subject, but not as high as the Birds eye view. It helps to connect the subject to the surroundings while also giving the audience power over them, making the subject less significant in comparison.

Eye level: a fairly  neutral point of view, putting you on level with the actors on scene as if you where actually there, giving the audience more connection and attachment to the world around them.

Low angle: this is gives a sense of distortion, motion, speed, or lack of control to the audience by putting them lower than the subject. This sense of confusion and distortion is caused from the background being unclear, normally being the ceiling or sky. It also gives the audience a feeling of lack of control as the subject is bigger and more superior to them. Also the lack of complete knowledge of where they are gives an illusion of speed.

Oblique/canted angle: this gives a sense of distortion, imbalance or transition to the audience by tilting the camera. this is all suggested by the tilted and unbalanced position of the camera and is often used in Horror movies. Also its used in P.O.V scenes.
