In addition to camera shots, the angle is also important. The angle from which a shot is taken is another way to give it variety as well as information.
High Angle - A high angle positions the camera above eye-level, looking down on the subject making them look weak in the process
Eye-Level - At eye-level the impression is neutral, these usually have little to no effect on the viewer. This shot is used when the camera is looking at eye level to the subject (actor.)
Low Angle - A low-angle has the camera looking up at the subject, showing power and it appears important this depends on the angle being exaggerated
Reverse Angle - A reverse angle shows what the subject is seeing (from their point of view)
Oblique Angle - A oblique angle is shot by tilting the camera to make the subject appear on a angle.
Camera Movement - Another way to give television programs and films variety is for the camera to move
Panning - When the camera moves from right to left to show the full scene but not changing position
Tracking - When the camera changes position by moving from left to right
Elevating - When the camera changes position by moving up or down
Dollying - When the camera moves by going forwards and backwards
Tilting - When the camera stays still but turns up or down
Zooming In/Out - When the camera is stationary it can move closer or further away by a lever on the lens or a special ring
