- 3. This shot allows the audience to see the world through the character’s eyes.
- 5. This shot shows the head and shoulders of the subject.
- 8. This is when the camera is positioned directly above the subject.
- 9. These are shot from behind the person, looking towards their subject. Usually, the frame is cut off just behind the ear, or shoulder.
