Select the picture below that does not represent the use of an eye level angle.
- A.
- B.
- C.
Correct Answer
B.

Explanation
The picture that does not represent the use of an eye level angle is the one where the camera is positioned above the subject, looking down. In an eye level angle, the camera is positioned at the same level as the subject's eyes, creating a neutral and balanced perspective. However, in the picture where the camera is positioned above the subject, the angle is higher than eye level, resulting in a downward perspective and potentially distorting the subject.

Correct Answer
A. Low angle

Explanation
The President of the US is often photographed or filmed at a low angle because it is a technique commonly used to portray power, authority, and dominance. Shooting from a low angle makes the subject appear larger and more imposing, creating a sense of strength and leadership. This angle is often used to capture the President in a heroic or presidential light, emphasizing their position of authority and influence.
