Camera Angle
Camera angle in animation refers to the position of the camera that is used to capture the scene being animated. It can be low, high, or at eye level and can change the way we see and feel about what's happening in the animation. Essentially, it's like deciding where to stand when taking a picture or recording a video. Just like how taking a picture from a different angle changes what we see, changing the camera angle in an animation can change how we feel about what's happening in the story.

The camera angle in animation refers to the position of the camera in relation to the subject or object being filmed. It is a fundamental tool used by animators to convey different emotions, perspectives, and meanings to the audience.
Camera angles are not specific to 3d animation. Whilst there is no camera to manipulate in 2d animations, the same principles apply. The camera angle is the position of the viewer relative to the subject.
There are several types of camera angles used in animation, including:
- High Angle: When the camera is positioned above the subject, looking down at it. This angle is often used to show vulnerability or weakness of a character.
- Low Angle: When the camera is positioned below the subject, looking up at it. This angle is often used to show power or dominance of a character.
- Eye-level Angle: When the camera is positioned at the same height as the character. This angle is often used for normal conversations or actions.
- Bird’s Eye View: When the camera is positioned directly above the subject, looking straight down. This angle is often used for establishing shots of locations or to show overall movement.
- Worm’s Eye View: When the camera is positioned directly below the subject, looking straight up. This angle is often used for dramatic effect or to make a character appear larger than life.
The use of different camera angles can greatly affect how an audience perceives a scene in an animated film or TV show.
