🎬 Understanding Camera Angles: Where You Place the Camera Matters

When you're shooting or generating your next AI video scene, the angle of your camera can dramatically shift the audience’s perception. It’s not just about what you show—it’s how you show it.

Here are 6 essential camera angles that help you tell the right story visually:

👁️ Eye Level

Neutral View
The classic straight-on shot. Creates balance, honesty, and equality between subject and viewer.

📉 High Angle

Makes Subject Small
Looking down on a character? It can make them seem vulnerable, weak, or insignificant.

📈 Low Angle

Makes Subject Powerful
Shooting from below makes your subject seem dominant, imposing, or heroic.

📐 Dutch Tilt

Makes Subjects Uneasy
Angling the frame creates tension, disorientation, or a surreal atmosphere. Think psychological thrillers or dream sequences.

🕊️ Bird’s Eye View

Abstract & Omniscient
Looking straight down from above, this angle detaches the viewer emotionally. Perfect for showing layout, geography, or fate from a “god’s eye” perspective.

🧍 Ground Level

Raw & Immersive
Placed on the ground, this view feels gritty and intimate. Great for tension, hiding reveals, or POV realism.

Pro Tip: Use a mix of angles to visually enhance emotion, mood, and power dynamics—especially effective when combining with varied shot sizes from your previous guide.
