Matilda: camera angles/pov

Because of our conversations on angle and point of view, I thought this was a great example from a film that we all grew up with. You see a lot of angles being used. When the Principal is above the girl you can truly feel the intensity and see her looking up scared. You also see the principal looking down on the girl and that conveys the emotion of her having a higher power from the angle we see.



Another great part about this scene is that you see close up shots of all of the school kids emotions from their facial expressions. Aside from the entertainment aspect, this short clip shows several camera techniques that I picked up on from viewing this weekend and thought I'd share!
