High Angle - This is done to make the audience believe that a certain character who is place higher than another is weaker. Suggesting to the audience that the higher character is dominant and the character below them is more vulnerable. The high angle is placed above the character to portray to the viewers that the character is completely powerless.
Low Angle - This is done to suggest to the viewers that the character standing above the height of the camera is more dominant, suggesting to the audience that the low angle portrays strength and power for a character as the character is standing over them, showing the other characters weakness compared to the dominance of the other.
Tilt - This is quite similar to a pan, although the tilt moves vertically, either up or down, this is done to portray the main significances of a subject, for instance, a shot of a house or a building, a tilt shot would move vertically along the subject to show all of it. It can also be done to show the character, to show them in full detail.
Dutch Tilt is used for dramatic effect and is used by moving the camera angle to a specific side, making the audience unsure why and also causing mystery doing this.
Master Shot - A master shot is one of the most important shots, like an establishing shot, it will portray the whole scene with all of the subjects within it, it is extremely important as it establishes to the audience where the scene is set and where the characters are.
The master shot is shown here as we see the whole scene, with all of the characters and the background.
The Master shot should always be the first shot you take, this is because it provides the setting to show where everything is. Without it, it would be confusing for the audience because they would not no what was going on. - Other shots would be taken afterwards, such as close ups and mid shots.
