BLOG QUESTION: HEIGHT OF CAMERA

What do low vs. high angles mean in relation to each other?

The height of the camera affects how we interpret the scene/character. It can add emotions to the scene without altering the story/acting. Placing the camera at a low angle can cause a character to look intimidating, and it tells the audience that they're the one with power in the scene. Placing the camera at a high angle can highlight how a character is weak. You can increase/decrease the camera height simply to change the perspective of your shot, or you can do this purposely to add a psychological layer to the story.
