Creator's tip (Choose the shot for the job): Wide shot = the whole place; medium shot = waist up; close-up = a face; detail shot = one small part. Low angle (looking up) = big and strong; high angle (looking down) = small or weak. Eye level = normal and fair; bird’s-eye view = straight down from above.
