Camera Angles
There are 10 well- known camera angles utilized in the film and photograph industry. Each angle serves a great purpose and can be identified based upon the perception of the model. I’ll be discussing 6 of those angles and vivid examples.
1. Beginning with eye level shot, the model is at eye level of the camera and mimics a real life eye contact connection. The effect this provides is neutral, neither superior or inferior, which can provide an easy image to process.
2. A low angle shot frames below the models eye-line forcing the model to tilt their head downward. The effect this provides is a powerful dynamic that portrays a significant image of dominance.
3. High Angle shots showcase an upward shot that force models to look upward and gives off an inferior effect to viewers. This angle also showcases that the viewers are what the models are looking at (or the possible issue) with this angle viewers can see the surroundings of the models.
4. The “Cowboy” shot or Hip level shot showcases a roughly waist high shot in which the subject is seated or stands. This shows the subject side profile and caters more to the surrounds and what it is to look from the outside in rather than living in the moment. It can be called the “Cowboy” shot because emphasis on what is on the waist such as a badge or holster is vividly seen.
5. Long shot camera angles are angles that are purposeful for its view of a “stage” this shot does not usually include a model but more so a landscape of a specific scenery.
6. Close up shots are seen mainly in animal magazines. These shots depict a specific feature of a models facial features to show their “alertness”. This is an abstract choice for camera shots being that the model is no longer the priority but the actual feature that the image is on takes the lead.
