![Page 5: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Shots with different camera angles
Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots is the camera angle. Changing the camera angle changes the appearance and function of your shot.
![Page 6: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Your shot angle is the level from which you look at your subject.
When you shoot video make sure you change your camera angles. Few things are more mentally painful than watching a video that was shot from one continuous camera position.
![Page 7: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1.Objective Angle (OA)
Shows the action as you would normally see things in the real world. Most films and videos are shot from this angle.
![Page 8: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
For example, if you were watching a fight from a seat in an auditorium, you would be watching it from an Objective Angle.
![Page 9: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Another example is a person standing on a street corner who sees a person riding by on a motorcycle. This would also be an Objective Angle.
![Page 10: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2.Point of View Angle (PVA)
Shows over the shoulder, but not from the eyes of the character. Usually called POV.
![Page 11: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
An example would be watching two fighters with the camera view taken from over the shoulder of one of the fighters. This angle brings the viewer into the action.
![Page 12: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3.Subjective Angle (SA)
Shows what a character or subject sees.
![Page 13: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Here is an example: a student walks across a classroom toward a wastebasket. As he walks from left to right in the front of the room, you shoot him from an objective angle.
![Page 14: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The camera gets halfway to the wastebasket, and you stop and move the camera so that it is over his shoulder as he continues to walk. You are now shooting from a point of view angle.
![Page 15: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
He bends over to look into the wastebasket. The next shot is a direct shot of the middle of the wastebasket. This is a subjective angle.
![Page 16: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Horizontal camera angles
Moving the camera around the subject horizontally while aiming at the subject creates the different camera angles on the next slide…
![Page 17: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1.Frontal The frontal angle tends to flatten the three dimensionality of facial features and environments.
![Page 19: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2.Three-quarter frontThe three-quarter front angle is more often used than the frontal
angle or profile because it shows more depth and volumes.
![Page 20: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3.Profile

5.Rear
![Page 23: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Vertical camera angles
Moving the camera around the subject vertically while aiming at the subject creates the different camera angles on the next slide…
![Page 24: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Eye-level angle
One of the most commonly used shots is the eye-level shot. Why? Because it's the perspective most familiar to us - we usually see things from our own eye-level.
![Page 26: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
This angle also causes the least discomfort because we're used to it. If you're shooting a person, make sure you shoot at their eye-level, not yours.
![Page 27: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
6.High angleThe camera is placed above eye level, looking downward. A high angle shot can make a character look smaller, younger, weak, confused, or more childlike.
![Page 29: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
High Angle
The high angle shot is the opposite of the low angle shot. The camera is placed above the subject and tilted to look down on the subject. This type of shot is sometimes called a bird's eye view.
![Page 30: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Since this shot the looks down, the subject looks smaller, decreasing its importance. It often gives the audience a sense of power, or the subject a sense of helplessness.
![Page 31: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You can use this shot to create a sense of smallness in the the subject or to show that the audience has a sense of looking over the subjects from a superior position.
![Page 32: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

8.Low angleThe camera is placed below eye level, looking upward. A low angle shot can make a character look bigger, stronger, or more noble. It also gives the impression of height.
![Page 34: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Low Angle
This shot shows the audience a view looking up at a subject. The camera is placed on the ground or floor and tilted to look up.
A low angle shot, or worm's eye view, can be used to make a subject look bigger than it is.
![Page 35: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Field of View
The Field of View (FOV) is the angle described by a cone with the vertex at the camera's position. It is determined by the camera's focal length, with the shorter the focal length the wider the FOV.
![Page 43: AVP camera - angles 1johnbowne.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2011/9/17... · 9/17/2011 · Shots with different camera angles Another one of the major distinctions among types of shots](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff5a4cfd4ac961e45f6234/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
For example, for a 35mm lens the FOV is 63 degrees (wide-angle), for a 50 mm lens it is 46 degrees (normal), and for a 135 mm lens it is 18 degrees (telephoto). A wide angle lens exaggerates depth while a telephoto lens minimizes depth differences.

Are camera angles and lens angles related?
If they are, how and why are they related?
If they aren’t related, why not? Is either related to something else?
