What is a "camera angle"?

A camera angle refers to the specific position or perspective from which a camera captures a scene. It determines how the subject and surroundings are framed and perceived in the shot. Different camera angles can significantly affect the mood, emphasis, and narrative of a scene. For example, a low-angle shot can make a character appear more powerful, while a high-angle shot can make them seem smaller or more vulnerable. By choosing a particular angle, filmmakers and photographers influence how the audience views and interprets the action or subject, helping to convey emotions, highlight details, or establish context. Camera angles are essential tools in visual storytelling, shaping the viewer's experience and emotional response.
