IT’S WHERE THE CAMERA IS IN RELATION TO THE SUBJECT
Camera Angles. The term camera angle means slightly different
things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is
composed. Some people use it to include all camera shot types,
others use it to specifically mean the angle between the camera
and the subject. We will concentrate on the literal interpretation
of camera angles, that is, the angle of the camera relative to the
subject.
High angle the camera is above the subject
Low angle the camera is below the subject
Oblique angle the subject appears tilted
Birds eye angle the camera is high in the air, looking down on
the subject
Worms eye angle the camera low on the ground up at the
subject
