Shot Angles

Low Angle - a shot from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eyeline, looking up. This makes the character seem powerful
High Angle - a shot located above the eyeline, the camera looks down on the subject. This angle makes the character seem vulnerable or powerless.
Eye-Level Angle - This is the most common view, being the real-world angle that we are all used to. It shows subjects as we would expect to see them in real life. It is a fairly neutral shot.
Worms eye Angle - A worm's-eye view is a view of an object from below, as though the observer were a worm (the opposite of a bird's-eye view).
Canted Angle - A camera angle which is deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to help portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action.
Birds eye Angle - The scene is shown from directly above. This is a completely different and somewhat unnatural point of view which can be used for a dramatic effect.
