Using different camera angles is an effective way to bring a different tone to your storytelling. Depending on where you position your camera and how you shoot your subjects, you can make your audience feel entirely differently about them and your story. Getting to grips with your camera angles is an absolute must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broadly speaking, camera angles can be \u2018high\u2019, \u2018low\u2019 or eye-level, but these can be divided further. Depending on how high or low you go, or if you choose to shoot an eye-level shot from straight-on, behind, or somewhere in between, they each give a different feeling to your videos. This stays true whether you\u2019re filming on set or building scenes using virtual or AI workflows, using AI video models like Seedance 2.0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this post, we\u2019ll go over some of the essential camera angles every creator needs to know and see their impact. We\u2019ll see examples from famous films and clips from Artlist that you can use in your video to create the desired effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s start high up above. To achieve a bird\u2019s-eye view or an aerial shot, you will need a drone or even a helicopter. Aerial footage<\/a> can be used as establishing shots, but it can also be quite abstract and disorienting, so you need to think carefully about how best to use it. When you shoot from high above, it makes everything moving at ground level seem a bit slower. This could be great for something contemplative or give your audience a moment of pause, but maybe not so good for a frantic high-speed chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bird\u2019s-eye view or aerial shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
