Camera Angles

What are the three angles in the AICE syllabus? 

  • High angle 
  • Low angle 
  • Canted/Dutch  angle 

High angles: looks down on the character/person in the film.  

High angles make the character to be insignificant. they are commonly used to draw the audience in. It can make they audience to feel "motherly". They convey many themes, mood, and tension throughout the film. 



Low angle : looks up on the character/person in the film 

Low angles give the character a 'superior' view. In a film, low angle convey's power however there are times the power can be good or bad. They can give the audience different meanings  on characters such as showing the character development. 




Canted/Dutch angle: camera is being 'rotated'. The camera is tilted at an angle. 

Canted/ dutch angle causes the audience to have sense of tension or unease.

For my magazine, I decided to research different photographers  that may inspire me for my magazine cover by their methods and focuses.   Laura Letinsky  Laura Letinsky is a Canaian photographer born 1962 in Winnipeg , Canada. She is known for her still life art. She began her career with taking photos of people but late 1900s, she replaced people  with objects. She uses objects such as fruit bowls to present their beauty. She presents that nature within her photographs.  https://thegreatdiscontent.com/interview/laura-letinsky https://www.artsy.net/artist/laura-letinsky   https://www.yanceyrichardson.com/artists/laura-letinsky
