Angles2

Subjective Angle

In a subjective angle the camera is put in place of a character and shows us the scene from the character's point of view. Subjective angles are useful for bringing the viewer into the action. Think of the difference between showing an auto race from the point of view of somebody watching in the grandstand, and showing it from the point of view of a driver in a car speeding around the track. When used effectively a subjective camera angle can make a great impact on the viewer.

High Angle

In a high angle shot the camera is positioned above eye level, with the camera shooting down on the subject. A high camera angle is useful for showing the audience an overview of your scene or shooting area.

In addition, a high camera angle tends to make the subject appear smaller in size and stature. Looking down on a subject suggests a feeling of loneliness and a lack of power.

Normal Angle

In a normal angle shot the camera is positioned at approximately the subject's eye level, shooting the scene as we would normally view the world. The "normal" angle will vary depending on the subject being shot. If you were shooting a group of children at play then a normal "adult" angle would be too high. In a case like this you should lower the camera.

Remember, the normal angle refers to the subject's position, not the position most comfortable for you.

Low Angle

In a low angle shot the camera is positioned below eye level, with the camera shooting up at the subject. Shooting up from a low angle makes the subject appear larger and suggests a feeling of power and dominance. Many political candidates prefer to be shot from a slightly lower angle to make themselves look taller and more important. In movies, the villain is often shot from a low angle to make them appear more sinister.




Canted Angle

In a canted angle the camera is tilted on its horizontal plane to produce a slightly unstable picture. This suggests a feeling of excitement, suspense or fantasy to the viewer. Since this is a view of the world that we are not used to seeing, this effect should be used sparingly.

Angles

certain camera angles convey specific impressions to the viewer.

A low-angle shot usually suggests a powerful and dominant subject whereas a high-angle shot makes a subject appear less powerful and physically smaller.

A subjective shot is a much different view of a scene from what we are normally used to seeing and tends to involve the viewer.

Symbolism_1

Symbolism

Symbolism originated in France, and was part of a 19th-century movement in which art became infused with mysticism. It was a continuation of the Romantic tradition.

French Symbolism was both a continuation of the Romantic tradition and a reaction to the realistic approach of impressionism. It served as a catalyst in the outgrowth of the darker sides of Romanticism and toward abstraction.

The term Symbolism means the systematic use of symbols or pictorial conventions to express an allegorical meaning. Symbolism is an important element of most religious arts and reading symbols plays a main role in psychoanalysis. Thus, the Symbolist painters used these symbols from mythology and dream imagery for a visual language of the soul.

There were several, rather dissimilar, groups of Symbolist painters and visual artists. Symbolism in painting had a large geographical reach, reaching several Russian artists, as well as American. The closest to Symbolism was Aestheticism. The Pre-Raphaelites, also, were contemporaries of the earlier Symbolists, and have much in common with them. Symbolism had a significant influence on Expressionism and Surrealism, two movements which descend directly from Symbolism proper. The work of some Symbolist visual artists directly impacted the curvilinear forms of the contemporary Art Nouveau movements in Europe and Les Nabis.

which included such artists as John Henry Fuseli and Caspar David Friedrich.

Anticipating Freud and Jung, the Symbolists mined mythology and dream imagery for a visual language of the soul. More a philosophical approach than an actual style of art, they influenced their contemporaries in the Art Nouveau movement and Les Nabis.

The leading Symbolists included Gustave Moreau, Puvis de Chavannes, and Odilon Redon.

The movement was also a major influence on some of the Expressionists, especially on the work of Franz von Stuck and Edvard Munch.



In my point of view, it has not giving a meaning directly it is abstract art.

It contains inside world like potential meaning not the viewing only which provided particular images or objects with esoteric attractions.

Symbolist believed that art should apprehend more absolute truths which could only be accessed indirectly. Thus, they painted scenes from nature, human activities, and all other real world phenomena in a highly metaphorical and suggestive manner.

Not so much a style of art, Symbolism was more an international ideological trend.
