Today we learned different camera positions we can use to film a film opening.
1. Low Angle:
The camera is positioned below the subject and is pointing up at them. This makes them appear powerful and dominant. An extreme variation of this shot is called "worm's eye view" which is usually from the ground.
2. High Angle:
The camera is positioned above the subject and points below at them. This makes them appear weak and vulnerable. An extreme variation of this shot is the "Ariel Shot", which is used to establish an environment, often from a great height.
3. Overhead:
The camera is placed 90 degrees above the subject and this position is also known as a 'bird's eye view'. This can be used to show complex movement or to show details of the surroundings of a subject.
4. Dutch Tilt:
The camera tilts on its horizontal axis and is no longer parallel to the horizon. This creates unease and bewilderment.
5. Eye Level:
This position is a commonly used height of the camera and creates a natural relationship with the character. The camera is at the eye level of the character.
