Importance of Camera Angles

Camera angles are important, for many reasons, different shots denote different matters of subject, it can deliever important information, create impact, facilitate editing, it can emphasize and determine a point, camera angles are a subtle yet vital devise in film making. In my opinion Camera angles are a huge impact in Film Trailers, we may not notice it, but our eyes pick up alot of information through the camera angles alongside the editing used to emphasize and elaborate it. There is a variety of different Camera angles, many of which are oblivious to us, such as...
Extreme close up
Medium close up's
Mid shotlong shot
Low angle
High angle
Ariel shot
Over the shoulder
Establishing Shot
We have tried to use many of these types of shots in our trailer, there is many close up shots in order to show the emotions of our characters, depict some sort of characteristic, and questions the viewer with whether they should show empathy or sympathy with the characters, additionally we have used many establishing shots of landmarks aswell as movement such as Stephanie running, this is a way of showing her struggle in finding Brett, and emphasises on her role. Establishing shots are very conventional in Thriller movies, especially establishing shots of landmarks, as depicted through 'Taken'. There was many establishing shots of landmarks of Paris in 'Taken', so emphasize where the action is taken place, we have tried to reflect this idea in our trailer, which is conveyed through shots of 'Big Ben' and 'London eye'.
