CINEMATIC ww RULES
The Angles Bordwell and Thompson say “The frame implies an angle of framing with respect to what is shown. It thus positions us at some angle onto the shot’s mine-enscene”. In the view of the fact that the number of such angles is infinite, there are also a limitless number of points in space that the camera might take a shot. “This will give different experience and sometimes emotion. The different camera angles will have different effects on the viewer and how they perceive the scene that is shot. There are a few different routes that a camera operator could take to achieve their desired effect”. The position of the camera specifies the angle. In reality, a picture of a person photographed from a high angle with respect to an image of the same photographed from low angle, indicates a different, almost opposite interpretation. There are many different types of camera angles but the four basic angles in the cinema are the bird’s-eye view, the high-angle shot, the eye-level shot, and the low-angle shot
High-Angle Shot
In High-angle shot the camera is higher than the subject and also is looking down upon the subject. This angle gives the viewers a general overview and usually includes the ground as background. In few words, the high-angle shot reduces the importance of a subject and has the power to make the subject look small or weak
Eye-Level Shot
Bird’s Eye View
The most disorienting angle of all is the Bird’s-eye view, which set up the landscape and the actors relationship to it. This angle is taken directly above the scene . 060

This example, as it can probably be recognized is “shooting” at eye level. Except than the main soldier, the others soldiers behind him can be seen as well as the environment in which they are.
