For this shot a crane is used to give a great overview impact.







 







Low level shot; This shot makes out that the characters are looking at something below the knees, usually something on the floor. this makes the viewers want to know what they're looking at, so they carry on watching. the background of a low level shot will usually be the sky or a ceiling.



Birds eye view; i personally think this is a great shot. it allows the audience to see a great deal of the picture. birds eye view is usually a wide shot aswell and it allows you to see the whole setting not just a little bit of a setting, you can see the whole thing.  










Canted Angle Shot; this type of shot is generally used to show the characters confusion. it can either show the whole of the character, or just their face. it can even be what the character can see. the way the camera is on a slant, this intrigues the audience as to what their thinking.
