Camera Angles/ Shots:

In this particular post I will be sharing and discussing a range of photos displaying various camera shots and why they are specifically effective on an audience:

Point of View:
 Point of view is when the camera conjures the odd illusion of having the audience see the world through the perspective of a certain character. Generally the camera would be seen through eye level, as seen above, so as the audience can fully get to grips with how that character really sees the world.

Over the Shoulder:
Over the shoulder shot is when the camera is set quite close from behind the shoulder. This is normally used in a conversation, especially for it creates a sense of dominance for one character and the other inferior ( for one looks figure looks bigger and taller than the other).

Weather Shot:
The whether is used in this angle shot so as to capture the mood and setting of the specific scene being shot. This shot also helps to connote a sense of feeling a pathetic fallacy; for example the shot above consists of calm happiness for the bright primary colours, where as if this shot was taken in the middle of an autumn night it might be dark and wet connoting a sense of evilness and misery

Close up and Extreme Close Up:
A close up is used to illuminate to the audience of an important scene that is often used to create a sense of danger or tent ion. A close up is used to help mark the moment of that particular act of the scene.

An extreme close up is the same, only that the camera is in a far more deeper focus to further exemplify the situation. For example the extreme focus could illustrate to the audience of just how troubled I am as I am torn between the deduction of cutting the blue or the red wire when dismal tiling a bomb:
