high angle from the right
birds eye view
high angle from the left
low angle
eye level
When i shot my practice stop motion i was aware that the camera angle wasnt as effective as it could be, and i decided to look back at some different shots, and how they added to the effect of the piece. From my research into stop motion i have found that close up's tend to be quite popular and the most effective, and that a high angle or eye level shot is often used. I thought the eye level shot has a nice effect, as all the objects look the best at this angle, althought the road looks a bit flat, perhaps a slightly higher angle, but still eye level. The low angle shot worked nicely too, as it made the objects seem bigger and more upright, and looked less like a set.
Be careful - one of the drawbacks of doing animation is that you might limit yourself to only 1/2 angles. You need to use a wider variety to meet the assessment objectives.
ReplyDeleteI became aware of this when doing research, at a amateur level the camera can be quite static in animation, especially stop motion, which is why i was exploring possible angles, although they are limited. but it is also possible to keep the camera moving, and pan, track etc, it is just more difficult. i will practice camera movement at a later date.
