All language subtitles for 1. Objective vs. subjective angles

Film, like many other visual art,
is a two dimensional medium

that attempts to trick the viewer
into perceiving three dimensional space,

deciding on the camera's position.

Distance to the subject lenses
and aperture will have a significant

effect on how the viewer perceive
the character's behavior.

Moving a character away
from the center of the frame

could signify isolation, sadness,
or having a hard time

tilting the camera to the right or left.

Causes the objects in the shot
to appear unbalanced

or create an impression of chaos or fear.

This technique is called canted framing,

and it is often found in music
videos and action sequences.

Generally speaking, a subject shot
either places the camera where a character

would be watching from,
or it places the viewer inside the action.

A low angle shot from a runner
would be considered subjective

because it gives the viewer the sense
of participating inside the scene

rather than watching it
from an external or more objective angle.

Subjective shots

are great resources

to tell a story through the character's
emotions or perspective,

but should be used

sparingly as they can be disorienting
or alienating to the audience, especially

if a character looks at
or speaks directly to the camera

like I'm doing right now.

The opposite approach
would be an objective shot

where the viewer has a perspective
different from the characters,

or we see things that the characters
can't.

Going back to the Runner
example, an objective shot would be a low

angle view on the road of the runner
approaching

the camera.

In the next movie,

we will discuss one of the most popular
camera angles Point of View, or P.O.V.,

which falls right between the objective
and subjective categories.
