Camera Angles/Shots/Movements (for specific characters)

Camera Angles/Shots/Movements

Protagonist:
To show that they are vulnerable, we would use: high angled shots, birds eye view, long distance shots, tight framing, zooming out from close up to birds eye view
To show something isn't right we would use: canted framing, close ups on uncomfortable body parts
To create a sense of empathy we would use: close up on eyes and face
To give a sense of threat we would use: over the shoulder shots, birds eye views, long distance shots, close up shots, tight framing













Antagonist:
To show they have power over the protagonist we would use: low angle shots, close up shots, loose framing
To create a lack of empathy we would use: Barriers in-between the audience and the antagonist, close up of other body parts (e.g mouth) but not eyes, turned away from the camera
To create a sense of fear and not knowing where they are we would use: close ups, not showing the area
