DESCRIPTION
Before you can edit, you need to record an image. And that takes a camera. The camera represents the point of view of the audience. This means that we can control what the audience sees and how they interpret it by carefully positioning the camera.
In this video training, host Larry Jordan takes you into the studio to illustrate camera angles and how to use them to tell stories with pictures. Specifically, Larry illustrates – using cameras and actors – how the relationship between camera position, lens angle, actor position and depth of field all contribute to the emotional impact of a shot.
