| A low angle shot is where the camera is positioned low to the ground and focused on something higher than where the camera is. This type of shot is useful to a filmmaker who wants to give the subject a look of power and strength. This shot is often used if a monster is involved because it makes the monster look giant and scary. A high angle shot is when the camera is looking down on the subject. This is useful to a filmmaker who wants to create the effect of weakness and subordination as seen in the clip below in which the camera switches between low angle and high angle to show the switch in power. |
