looking back at the last lecture i get the feeling it wasn't aimed at us that much, it was a good lecture quite interesting. especially the parts looking back at the evolution of camera angles that was interesting, to thing films use to have one set solid angle and now they can come from anywhere. First person, third person above, below, eagle eye and the list continues. their really have been some bizarre camera angles in film i think one of my favourite angles would be from Jaws i love that first person angle of the shark looking up at the girl swimming in the very beguinning and it gets closer and closer till....... the bite thats a really impressive shot.
I've always really enjoyed camera angles in horror films, especially ones by John Carpenter he has such away with angles like in halloween how he makes Michael Meyers even more intimidating with the use of high and low angles, it really gives a sense of power, making him larger than life and it really works and horror movies still mimic the technique.
