Emotion With Camera Angles

Crane Down-  This is used to make the viewer feel like they are being dropped into the scene and being a part of the character's world.

Crane Up- The shot gives us a feeling of how the character is, or how hard the obstacle is that they have to overcome.

Crane High To Low Angle- Gives the character a strong and composing feel.  Gives a sense of authority and fear.

Handheld- Can create a sense of uneasiness and danger, but it is most effective if the camera is shaking.

Quick Pan- Reveals something dangerous, usually throws the audience for a loop and sends them in a totally different emotional direction.

Quick Push In- Creates a sense of surprise or shock

Slow Dolly In- Creates tension, and can make us become more intimate with the character.  It can make us feel uncomfortable, or share the emotions of the character.

Slow Dolly Out- As the viewer you feel an emotional disconnect with the character.

Dolly Across- It reveals something that changes the emotion of the scene.

Glidecam-  The scene feels epic and almost dream-like.  Very smooth.

Handheld Camera- The scene feels edgy, and stressful.  It's not very smooth, and the emotion is being thrown at you.

Glide 360 Reveal -  A "Calm Before the Storm" movement.  Reveals the whole scene and it's peacefulness, right before the action starts.

Zolly- What's happening is a revelation, mind-blowning.
