The camera angle marks the specific location at which a camera is placed to take a shot. A scene may be shot from several camera angles. This will give different experience and sometimes emotion. the different camera angles will have different effects on the viewer and how they perceive the scene that is shot. There are a few different routes that a camera operator could take to achieve their desired effect.

Where the camera is placed in relation to the subject greatly effects the way the viewer perceives that subject. A Viewpoint is the apparent distance and angle from which the camera views and records the subject. There are many different types of camera angles such as the high-angle shot, the low-angle shot, the bird's eye view and the worm's eye view.

They also include the eye level shot and the point of view shot. A high-angle shot (HA) is a shot in which the camera is physically higher than the subject and is looking down upon the subject. The high angle shot can make the subject look small or weak or vulnerable while a low-angle shot (LA) is taken from below the subject and has the power to make the subject look powerful or threatening. A neutral shot or eye Level (EL) shot has little to no psychological effect on the viewer. This shot is when the camera is level or looking straight on with the subject.
