1 The basics of camera angles

Camera angles influence how viewers perceive the size, importance, mood, and relationship of characters and objects. Common camera angles include eye-level, which is a neutral and realistic angle that creates a sense of equality and normalcy; high-angle, which makes the subject look smaller, weaker, or vulnerable; low-angle, which makes the subject look larger, stronger, or dominant; and Dutch-angle, which creates a sense of disorientation, instability, or tension. Each angle can help create a specific atmosphere in a scene.

Understanding the fundamentals of camera angles is like wielding a unique storytelling tool that can profoundly influence how viewers perceive the world within a frame. One of my preferred camera angles is the eye-level shot. It's the angle that allows us to connect with characters on a personal level, as if we are standing beside them, sharing their experiences. Mastering camera angles is about mastering the art of visual storytelling.

2 The basics of camera movements

Camera movements can add dynamism, continuity, and interest to your field production story. Panning is when the camera rotates horizontally, left or right, while staying in the same place. It can show the scope or context of a scene, or follow a moving subject. Tilting is when the camera rotates vertically, up or down, while staying in the same place. It can show the height or depth of a scene, or reveal something hidden or important. Zooming is when the camera changes its focal length, making the subject appear closer or farther away. It can emphasize or de-emphasize a detail, or create a sense of movement or transition. Dollying is when the camera moves physically closer or farther away from the subject, while keeping the same angle and focal length. This can create a sense of depth or perspective, or show the relationship between the subject and the background. Tracking is when the camera moves sideways, parallel to the subject, while keeping the same distance and angle. This can create a sense of motion or direction, or show the surroundings of the subject.

I had the opportunity to capture a portrait of a 5-year-old girl engrossed in a captivating story her grandmother was reading to her. "The Story" - The objective was to capture the child's wonder and fascination as she listened to the story. The camera movements involved: Dolly-in and Tilt-Down: As I got closer, I tilted the camera downward to focus on the child's face. This movement highlights her expressions and the genuine excitement in her eyes. This approach captures the child's innocence and tells a story of the power of storytelling. The extraordinary beauty that exists in the simplest of moments.

3 How to choose the best camera angles and movements for your story

Choosing the best camera angles and movements for your field production story is not an easy task. You have to consider your purpose, audience, genre, and style, as well as the technical and practical limitations of your equipment and location. However, there are some general guidelines to help you make better decisions. For instance, matching your camera angles and movements to your story's tone and mood can create the desired effect. For a suspenseful story, you can use low-angle or dutch-angle shots or zoom in and out to create tension. On the other hand, for a humorous story, you can use high-angle or eye-level shots or pan and tilt to create contrast or surprise. Additionally, using variety and contrast will keep viewers engaged and interested. Alternating between wide and close shots or between static and dynamic shots can create rhythm and balance. Different angles and movements can also show different perspectives or emotions of your characters or scenes. Finally, using continuity and consistency will help viewers stay oriented and focused. Matching or complementary angles and movements can show the connection or progression between different shots or scenes. Consistent rules or patterns can also avoid confusion or distraction.
