What are the angle types of lens elements in the image?

The so-called angle refers to the angle formed between the camera lens and the subject. Generally speaking, the angle can be divided into three types: head-up, head-up, head-down and tilt lens.

1, head-up lens

If the camera and the object are basically on the same horizontal line, such a shooting lens is called a head-up lens. Head-up lens is the most neutral and objective performance lens, which is closest to the normal visual angle of people, simulates the normal visual field of people, is stable and normal, and is quite satisfactory.

Step 2 look up at the camera

When the camera is lower than the subject, the upward angle is the upward lens. Generally speaking, looking up at the camera has two meanings, which can be summarized as pragmatic and pragmatic. Looking up at the camera pragmatically is to truly show the spatial position of the characters. For example, if we want to show the people downstairs looking at the people upstairs, we need to look up at the camera to show the characters standing upstairs at this time. Looking up at the camera often contains symbolic meaning or psychological suggestion. For example, if we shoot a weak figure, the shadow cast by the tall figure in front is shrouded, which generally gives people a particularly depressed psychological feeling. At this time, we may show that one side is particularly tall and bossy, or that the other side is particularly weak and helpless.

Step 3 look down at the camera

The top-down lens is the angle relative to the bottom-up lens, and the top-down lens is generally the angle at which the camera lens is higher than the subject. Just like looking up at the camera, looking down at the camera can be divided into pragmatism and realism, which is both objective and a symbol of freehand brushwork.

Step 4 tilt the lens

Tilt lenses are generally unconventional lenses, and generally use incomplete and skewed composition to create pictures. Compared with the previous lens, the most important function of tilting lens is to express ideas. For example, if we want to show the world in the eyes of an alcoholic, we usually use an inclined lens to show the world in the eyes of an alcoholic with an incomplete, upside down and incomplete picture. The main function of tilt lens is to show the special mentality or state of the characters. By tilting the lens, we can feel the abnormal psychological and physiological state of the subject.

Angle is basically the above difference, expressing different meanings and adopting different angles. And when we can better understand the angle used in film and television, we can better understand the deep-seated content and significance to be expressed in the film.
