Camera Angles and Characterization

Camera Angles: 

 Low Angles: 

  • Typically a character shown from a low angle is seen as a superior or a bully. 
  • It doesn't always mean they are a bully, it could mean they are a confident character. 
  • It gives power to the character in the scene, especially if other characters they interact with are shot at higher angles. 
High Angles: 
  • Typically a character shot at this angel is projected as an innocent, or a child. 
With these different angles you can also fool the audience. For example Lord of the Rings Gollum was originally shot at a higher angle making the audience view him as something that he was not. However, the angles lower as his true character is revealed. 

Stay tuned for more blog updates as I will be conducting a video interview with the news anchor for the Charger Bulletin News Channel!

But this course taught me quite a bit more about the program other than using it as a knock off microsoft paint. I figured out how to edit my photos to erase insecurities on my face that I had been having my good friend Dayna erase for years. I figured out how to create advertisements in the application as well.  Audition: This program, I didn't even know existed when I was in high school. I figured out the world of editing audio, while I may not be a professional at erasing background noise just yet, I figured out that clipping down audio was not as difficult as I thought it was.  Premiere: I had worked previously with audition before but I didn't get as good of a grasp on it as I have now.
