TZ20 - Camera Angles Part 1

http://www.takezer0.com/2007/12/11/tz20-camera-angles-part-1/

Camera angles can be expressed in both physical and psychological terms. This episode, Part One of two, presents the physical angles: low-angle, high-angle, and dutch angle. We'll present Part Two next week.

We're still working hard on preparing content for TZ v2.0. Between school (it's finals week), Christmas shopping, and work, we've been pretty busy lately. Our apologies if we're slow in responding to any emails or messages, but we'll do our best!

what camera did you use to shoot this?

[esotericsean]

Back then we were still using a Panasonic DVX100a. Now, we shoot with a Sony PMW-EX1. Next year, we'll be upgrading to a RED Scarlet! :)

Excuse me guys,, just want to contradict about one of ur angles, specifically the low and high angle shots... Well, a movie cinematographer would say that the first angle should be the high angle shot... (High angle shot occurs when the camera is below the subject and the lens is basically focusing 45 deg to 90 degrees... the same for low angle shot, it is when the shot is above the subject.. please research more guys!!!!

[esotericsean]

Yep, what you're saying is correct. Maybe you misinterpreted us, but that's exactly what we said in the video.

hang on, dutch angle comes from deutsch as they used the angle several times in early german films.

german= deutsch which sounds like the english word dutch.

hence the name.
