Camera Angles.

Top 10 Camera Angles of LeBron's Jam (BasketBall)-



High Angle- In film, a high angle shot is usually when the camera is located high (often above head height) and the shot is angled downwards (in contrast to a low-angle shot). This shot is used sometimes in scenes of confrontation and fights to show which person has the higher power. The subject of a high angle shot looks vulnerable or insignificant; if the shot represents a character's point of view the shot can also be used to make the character tall, more powerful or threatening.



Low Angle- In cinematography, a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis, often at knee height, looking up. This technique is sometimes used in scenes of confrontation to illustrate which character holds the higher position of power, and is a common element in the aesthetic texture of certain genres such as film noir.



Canted Angle- Sometimes the camera is tilted (ie is not placed horizontal to floor level), to suggest imbalance, transition and instability (any Michael Bay movie ). This technique is used to suggest POINT-OF-View shots (ie when the camera becomes the 'eyes' of one particular character,seeing what they see - a hand held camera is often used for this).
