In this class exercise, we were told to take photos of a chosen subject using the different camera angles we were taught in class. My friend and I chose a lamp post outside the lecture theatre as our subject.
Low camera angle
The low camera angle makes the subject look more powerful, leaving the viewer feeling insignificant.
Mid shot
The mid shot captures the subject partially.
Eye level
Eye level shots are fairly neutral and familar to most viewers since it is taken at a height most people can relate to easily.
Bird’s eye view/Extreme long shot
High camera angle
High camera angle shots leaves the subject looking small and insignificant. The viewer feels empowered.
