High Angle

this angle may be of the same extent as a birds eye view but has a completely different feeling, a birds eye view shows what is being seen, but a high angle shot shows what you are being seen as and this shot makes a character or object look very small and with no sense of power it can also make the character look weak and a sense of depression and insecurity. the object gets swallowed up by the setting and often becomes part of the background as if they have ni importance, this shot would be very interesting to use in my trailer but change through the stages of her life starting at a high angle when she is younger to show weakness, ending in a low angle to show her power and her change in life.

a low angle increases height and gives a sense of speeded emotion, they help give a sense of confusion to the viewer, of powerlessness within the action of a scene.
he added height of the object may make it inspire fear and insecurity in the viewer, who is psychologically dominated by the figure on the screen.
