9. HIGH ANGLED SHOTS / High View – Camera is tilted downward
HIGH ANGLED SHOTS / High View – Camera is tilted downward. Movement is slowed down. A person seems harmless and insignificant photographed from above.-The higher the angle, the more it tends to imply fatality

10. EYE LEVEL SHOTS/Neutral View – Provide frames or reference
EYE LEVEL SHOTS/Neutral View – Provide frames or reference. Audiences sees the event as if in the scene. Most scenes in movies are photographed from eye level. 5 to 6 feet off the ground. Capturing the clearest view of an object. -Treating your characters as equals. Discourages viewers at judging them and permits audience to make up their own minds.

11. Low View (or with tilt oblique angle)
Lateral tilt of the camera. As though the object is about to fall to one side. POINT OF VIEW SHOTS. -Suggests tensions, transitions, impending movement IMAGE THAT SLANTS TO THE RIGHT – Acting forceful IMAGE THAT SLANTS TO THE LEFT – Weak, static
