  2. Camera angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_angle

    The camera angle marks the specific location at which the movie camera or video camera is placed to take a shot. A scene may be shot from several camera angles simultaneously. [1] This will give a different experience and sometimes emotion. The different camera angles will have different effects on the viewer and how they perceive the scene ...

  3. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    In photography, angle of view (AOV) [1] describes the angular extent of a given scene that is imaged by a camera. It is used interchangeably with the more general term field of view . It is important to distinguish the angle of view from the angle of coverage , which describes the angle range that a lens can image on a given image sensor or ...

    Person passed out on sidewalk – New York City, 2008 – shot using Dutch angle. In filmmaking and photography, the Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, vortex plane, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot that involves setting the camera at an angle so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the ...

  5. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    For example, if standing at a distance so that a normal lens captures someone's face, a shot with a wide-angle lens or telephoto lens from the same distance will have exactly the same linear perspective geometry on the face, though the wide-angle lens may fit the entire body into the shot, while the telephoto lens captures only the nose.

  6. Over-the-shoulder shot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-shoulder_shot

    A single shot example of the OTS shot occurs in Citizen Kane. Cinematographer Gregg Toland uses a specially-made wide-angle lens with a very deep depth of field to get sharp focus from three feet from the camera to 25 feet away, which seems further because of the wide-angle lens. In the scene, Kane is preparing to sign away control of his ...

  7. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    In photography, the field of view is that part of the world that is visible through the camera at a particular position and orientation in space; objects outside the FOV when the picture is taken are not recorded in the photograph. It is most often expressed as the angular size of the view cone, as an angle of view. For a normal lens focused at ...

    The lens is focused automatically by means of the camera's hardware and firmware, to obtain optimum sharpness of an image. [4] AF-L or AFL: Autofocus lock. Locks a particular focus setting, preventing refocusing if the scene changes. [4] AoV: Angle of view. Describes the angular extent of a given scene that is imaged by a camera. APEX

  9. Tilt (camera) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_(camera)

    The camera's tilt will change the position of the horizon, changing the amount of sky or ground that is seen. [5] A tilt downward is usually required for a high-angle shot and bird's-eye view while a tilt upward is for a low-angle shot and worm's-eye view. The vertical offset between subjects can reflect differences in power, with superiority ...
