What is a "high-angle shot"?
A high-angle shot is a camera angle where the camera is positioned above the subject, looking down at it. This perspective makes the subject appear smaller, weaker, or less significant. High-angle shots are often used to convey a sense of vulnerability, inferiority, or to show the subject in a broader context. This technique helps create visual contrast and can enhance the storytelling by influencing how viewers perceive the characters and their situations.
