These are some of the techniques i studies and research on so i could get a good understanding on which shots will be important to have for each type of scene, shots makes the biggest difference and its important to know how to use them properly so my film opening can be the best i can make it.
Low-Angle Shot
The camera is positioned below the subject and looks upward. This makes characters—especially antagonists—appear larger, more powerful, and intimidating.
High-Angle Shot
The camera is placed above the subject and looks downward. This makes characters seem smaller, vulnerable, or powerless, often used to emphasize danger or isolation.
Dutch Angle (Tilted Angle)
The camera is deliberately tilted to one side, creating a slanted horizon line. This technique conveys disorientation, psychological instability, or that something is seriously wrong.
Close-Up Shot
The camera frames a character’s face or a small detail very tightly. Close-ups reveal subtle emotions such as fear, realization, or shock, heightening personal tension and intimacy.
Point-of-View (POV) Shot
The camera shows exactly what a character is seeing. This places the audience directly in the character’s perspective, increasing immersion—especially during pursuit scenes or moments of discovery.
Over-the-Shoulder Shot
The camera looks past a character’s shoulder toward what they are observing. This framing builds suspense by partially hiding potential threats (such as a figure in the background or a reflection in a mirror) until the right moment.
