Employing Camera Angles_Area

I have introduced progressive (or regressive) shots last week, and today I learned some other different shots, like contrasting shots and repetitious shots.

Contrasting angles are pairs of shots employing camera angles in direct opposition to each other. A high angle may be followed by a low angle, such as dialogues between a tall people and a child facing to each other, like two pictures below. Camera angles should be dramatically opposing in viewpoint to be most effective. According to Mascelli( 1965) , each pair of shots should have sufficient difference in image size to provide suitable contrast. 

Both of them are from One Man Band made by Pixar.

Repetitious shots utilize a series of same size images, which means repetitious angles are series of similar angles applied to the same of different subject matter. A series of shots may be filmed from the same angle at intervals, to show various stages of manufacturing process. Of course It also may be employed to film different people, objects or actions.
