Learn about 15+ CAMERA ANGLES in film using 4 different parameters: Pitch Angle, Camera Height, Orientation, and Point of View. Pitch Angle is the degree to which the camera is tilted up or down. Camera Height, is the vertical level at which the camera is placed. Orientation, is how much the camera is "twisted" on its Roll Axis. Point of View, is the orbital position of the camera around the subject or perspective. This is part two of my Introduction to Cinematography, or Filmmaking Techniques Video Series
