Why angles/movement matter?
Camera Shots
Wide Shot
Very Wide Shot- In this shot it is focussing more on the environment/setting that the subject is in. The subject is barely visual in this picture. This shot is great for shooting action scenes.
Wide Shot- This shot has the subject taking up almost the full screen. Her head is almost at the top, and her feet are almost at the bottom. The space in between the two is called the "safety room."
Mid Shot
