Shots and Angles


One of the most important aspects of film are your shots and angles. In fact, it's considered more important than the dialogue of the story put in place. Have you ever noticed how shots and angles are constantly changing. You may be watching an over the shoulder shot at one point, then like from out of nowhere, you have a scene where you're slightly looking downward in the eyes of the subject listening. The particular way the camera points and is moved around the subject changes the feeling it evokes. This is why directors use different shots all the time. If you were to only use a point of view shot in an entire film (see listing below) and didn't move the camera at an angle; you would grow tired of feeling like you're the main character and would miss the development of the complete story. In other words, the movie would be blah.

I made a list of shots and angles from just a few box office hits.


Overall

  • Shot and Angles are more important than dialogue alone

  • A multiple of shots and angles are required to capture feeling
