Used to show the small scale of a character or object. ■ Dutch angle – when the cinematographer skews the vertical axis to give an exciting or an uneasy feeling, this will help to show character in an altered state of reality from being tired, loony or uppity or narcissistic and high strung.

- 11. Point of View ■ A point of view shot is when the camera angle records the scene from a particular point player’s point of view. ■ A point of view shot is as close as an objective shot can be with out being a subjective shot. ■ In a point of view shot the camera is positioned “cheek to cheek” with a character.
