Camera Angles
There are many types of camera angles used for film and television. We went out with cameras and did our own usage of camera angles.
This is an extreme long shot (ELS). This were the camera is far away from the figure being captured. This can make the figure appear smaller and be effective.
This shot is Long Shot (LS). Where the figure is shown fully - from head to toe.
Aerial shot - from above - also known as birds eye view. Shows ground. Good angle if trying to look like a plane flying over.

Low Angle shot - Shot from below to make a scene look bigger than it is and make the figure look as if they have power.
High angle shot - Shot from above to make a figure look smaller and innocent.
Mid shot - Filmed from the waist up.
Medium long shot - Captures the figure almost in full but the ankles and feet are cropped out the frame.
Close-up - Camera focuses on an object or individual. Often used to convey emotional responses.

The big close-up - A head shot only - draws attention to an improtant emotional response.

Extreme close-up - From eyebrow to below mouth (or sometimes closer)
- Hailey.
