first example of this is a low angle. a low angle is an angle which is set up to make the artist look like he or she is powerful this is done by positioning the camera lower than the artist, thus doing this it creates an effect that makes the artist look bigger than the viewers kind of like a giant and that creates that sense of intimidation and that power which is how you want your artist to been seen.
High Angle
the next example is a high angle. this technique is used in the opposite way from the low angle and this shot is to make the artist look vulnerable and weak. the way you would set this shot up is by taking a possession above or higher than the artist so that you are facing the camera down on them creating that effect you looking down on them. this is creating the effect of being over powered and or looks to be dominated or over powered like in this example.
Tilt
following that example the next camera technique is the the "Tilt" or a "Canted angle" or even also referred to as a "Dutch" angle is an angle where the camera will tilt to the side to get the best results of this angle the use of a tripod is key. this technique is used or a dramatic effect or to add some sort of distortion to the video in a way showing that they are quite rebellious because this technique shows a kind of "turning the world upside-down effect."
Birds Eye View
the next shot type is called a birds eye view which is basically what it is this shot is used to show that an artist is isolated or lost and alone. the best way to set up this shot is to use a drone to capture the full long/wide shot of the area showing the surroundings. as you can see from the screen shot the artist looks isolated and on his own. another way birds eye view is used is to establish the location as seen in the screen shot on the left
Arc
an arc shot is a camera movement that circles around the artist. when filming this shot you would want your artist standing still while you surround them and circle them going round them but also at the same time also trying to keep the camera still. this technique is used to make it seem like the world is revolving round the artist and that he is the central and main, dominant subject in the situation. in my summer video i was able to fit in an Arc shot but it wasn't used as effectively as it could of in the second example, if you skip to 3:10 you should be able to see the arc used and you can also see the dept of field that is being used that i didn't use.
Hand Held
Hand held is a camera movement that is basically recording the video with no kind of stabilizing equipment E.g tri pod, dolly, track and or steady cam. this technique adds an amatuer look to it. what it also does is adds a sense of realism to the video so not all the shots are still and smooth and perfect. it can also reflect the character of the artist as you can see in the example given bellow the way the camera is moving is weird and unusual which also matches the behavour of the artist "Og Maco"
