Narrative Craft Group - Film Screening

In todays Narrative craft session we watched a film entitled 'Chuck Steel - Raging Balls of Steel Justice'. This animation shows good examples of the different camera angles that can be used in an animation, for example,

A Low Angle Shot - used to show a characters superiority:

A Voyer Shot - View of a character e.g. looking down the sight of a gun:

and a Tilt Shot - Used to show the animations scene:

One of the main rules from todays session is called the 180˚ rule:

This is the rule that when filming, the camera angles cannot cross the line of vision. A good example is that at the theatre you can only watch from one point of view as we can't move to the back of the stage and watch it from that side (facing the crowd). The same rules go for animation camera angles.
