Extension exercise: shot types

During this lesson we learnt about different camera shots, we learnt how to get across a sense of power, and dominance by looking up at something, it connotes power and authority, and looking down at someone in a camera shot, gives a sense of vulnerability to come across and these shots types do this very well.

This image here with the man walking up the staircase, is from a scene from psyscho, this high angle shot, gives a sense of vulnerability and a sense of impending doom.
