Angle and Movement

Angle

High Angle: a shot from above which points down on the action, subject may appear small, insignificant, or threatened. 

 
Low Angle: a shot taken from below and pointing up at the action, implies power resides in the subject. 



Straight-on or eye level shot: Camera is on the same plane as the subject, may imply normality or equality.



Canted Angle or Canted Framing: is a view in which the frame is not level, either the right or left side is lower than the other, causing objects in the scene to appear slanted out of an upright position. Canted framings are used to create an impression of chaos and instability. They ate therefore associated with the frantic rhythms of action films, music videos and animation.



Movement

Pan: A camera movement with the camera body turning to the right or left. On the screen, it produces a mobile framing which scans the space horizontally. A pan directly and immediately connects two places or characters, thus making us aware of their proximity.
The speed at which a pan occurs can be expoited for different dramatic purposes. 
 




Tilt: A camera Movement with the camera body swiveling upward or downward on a stationary support. It produces a mobile framing that scans the space vertically. Its function is similar to that of pans and tracking shots, albeit on a vertical axis.



 

Tracking shot: A mobile framing that travels through space forward, backward, or laterally. A tracking shot usually follows characters or objects as it moves along the screen. Contrary to the pan, which mimicks a turning head, a tracking shot physically accompanies the entire range of movement. It therefore creates a closer affinity whit the character or object moving.
