Camera Angle
Camera Angle
1. Eye Level
=This point of view is the angle of view or angle that is commonly used. At
this angle the camera lens is aimed at the height of the object. The position
and direction of the camera looking at the object to be photographed like our
eyes see the object normally. Taking this angle is mostly for photographing
humans and their activities (Human interest).
2. Frog Eye
= In shooting with this angle the camera is aligned with the ground. This
angle is usually used for objects that are positioned above the ground. To
shoot from this point of view, sometimes the photographer has to lie on the
ground, to produce a good photo.
3. High Angle
=This angle is used to capture the broad impression of the object being
photographed. At this angle the camera is positioned higher than the object,
thus giving a small impression of the object being photographed. With this
angle we can insert the supporting elements of the composition into the
frame. The application of high angle can also be applied to landscape
photos.
4. Low Angle
=At the angle of taking this photo, the camera is positioned lower than the
object. Low angle is usually used to show the impression of elegance,
grandeur and resilience. This shooting point of view is often applied to
cityscape photography, for example in photos of skyscrapers.
5. Bird Eye
=You can try to get different results by taking a photo from a point located
at an altitude. In this shooting angle, the position of the object is below or
lower than us standing. From this point of view, we have a very wide field of
view, including the object's perspective and its relationship to the objects
around it.
6. One Shot
= this angle tends to take the whole object, but the focus of the camera is
only on one object. This angle aims to display only one object, neither more
nor less.
7. Two Shot
= a type of shot in which the frame ecompasses two people (the subject).
The subjects do not have to be next to each other, and there are many
common two shots which have one subject in the foreground and the other
subject in the background.
8. Long Shot
= It's the same as the extreme long shot, but in the long shot the view is
closer
= This shot is also memorable far and wide, or in short, closer than the long
shot technique.
10.Medium Shot
11.Close Up
= This shot looks close, the main point of attention is the object, and the bias
is very little background. For human objects, usually the shot is taken from
the shoulder to the top of the head.
12.Medium Close Up
= This shot has the impression of being very close, as is the case with close
ups but in medium close up the object is a little further away, for human
objects usually the shot is done from the top of the head to the chest or
waist.
13.Big Close Up
= is a technique used to show the expression of objects, hence the big close
up technique. This technique aims to make the object clearer. The target is
from the top of the head to the chin of the object.
14.Extreme Close Up
= This shot is very close and detailed, the object is the main focus so that it
fills the entire screen, usually used to display certain parts of the human
body.
15.Slanted
16.Over Shoulder
= This type of shot is taken from behind the shoulder of another character
and typically frames the subject in a medium or close shot. It is particularly
effective in group conversation scenes and helps establish which characters
are speaking to each other.
17.Full Shot
= The full shot is just as the name implies and shows the entire body of the
subject from head to toe. This shot tends to focus more on the character’s
movement and gestures, rather than their state of mind.
18.Group Shot
Camera Movement:
1. Zoom
Zoom in: The lens moves forward or the view is closer to the object
Zoom out: The lens moves backward or looks away from the object
2. pan
3. tilt
4. dolly
= technique of moving the camera over the tripot or dolly closer to or away
from the subject.
5. truck
= Trucking involves moving the entire camera along a fixed point, but the
motion goes from side to side, rather than in and out. It’s often used to
follow characters in action.
6. Pedestal
7. rack focus
= This technique basically adjusts the camera lens to give a blurry or unfocused
effect on the main object, then slowly makes it look sharper, in focus, and
detailed. Rack Focus can also be applied from focus to blur to effectively shift
the viewer's focus from one object to another.
8. Crab
9. follow pan
= camera movement that follows wherever the subject moves like traveling
