Movie Camera Angles

Here are some most used camera angles with a definition and a photo.

W.A.L.T - I can explain a variety of camera angles used to make a movie.


Close up - 
This angle is taken of an object in a movie in close range intended to show greater detail for the viewer.


Over the shoulder - 
The over the shoulder angle is a shot taken from behind the shoulder to show the perspective of that the character is looking at.


Long shot - 
A long shot shows a from a considerable distance so that people appear as indistinct shapes.


Low angle - 
This angle shows people from down on the ground, basically the shot makes the human appear taller.

Extreme long shot - 

An extreme long shot is a view from an even greater distance in which people appear in small dots. 

These are some of the angles we used in my groups movie.
