Camera Work -

Film directors use many different camera angles throughout their films in order to create different atmospheres and emotions e.g. a close up shot on a character will make the audience connote that the character which has been zoomed in on is important in that particular part of the film. Another example may be a long shot, this sets the scene and allows the audience to see where the action or future action is taking place. The use of different angles means that the film is ever changing and therefore creates more exciting viewing for the audience.

Below are some examples of angles which directors most commonly use whilst filming -
