Camera Angles and Framings

This is a low angle. It can be used to convey power or make the person or object in shot look larger than they normally are. It puts people in a position of dominance, whereas the high angle puts people into a position of weakness.

This is a medium close up. These are used to show half of the body, more importantly, the persons face. This is so we can see their facial expression and any distinguishing features they have on their face.

This is a long shot of my model. Long shots are normally used in conjunction with the idea of showing a background and will sometimes show a skyline in the top of the image. Also, the features of the person in shot tend to be hard to distinguish due to the distance.

This is a high angle. It is normally used to show that the person in frame is small or convey that they have little or no dominance. It puts people into a position of vulnerability compared to the high angle putting the person in power.

This is a close up. This is normally to focus purely on an object or a specific part of somebody, such as their hand or their face. it is to show us in more detail what we are looking at and makes it easier to see what message is being conveyed. this example focuses on a sign and could be an eyeline match or a point of view of what somebody is looking at.
