Correct Answer
A. High Angle shot.Explanation
An over-the-shoulder shot is a camera angle where the camera is positioned behind one character's shoulder, capturing the other character or scene in front. This shot is commonly used in filmmaking to show the perspective of the character being observed. A high angle shot, on the other hand, is a camera angle where the camera is positioned above the subject, looking down on it. While both shots involve the camera being positioned at a higher angle, the over-the-shoulder shot specifically refers to the camera being positioned behind a character's shoulder.Rate this question:

By tilting the camera, the shot is no longer level or straight, adding a sense of imbalance and distortion to the visual storytelling.Rate this question:

It can also make the subjects seem isolated or detached from their surroundings, adding a sense of strangeness or unfamiliarity to the scene.Rate this question:
