The camera angles help to pick up on the facial expressions of the actors/actresses, so the viewer can be transported to the world the characters are in during throughout film. The movement of the camera helps with the editing, as if it is fast-paced the camera can sweep across and take in all the action, and if it is a slow-pace it can do gradual movements to pick up on the action bit by bit.
The camera angles also help the viewer to learn about a certain character. If the camera was doing a birds eye view of them all the time, and making them look small then this would suggest a powerless and vulnerable person. However if the camera looked up to that person all the time instead then this would show a powerful and intimidating character who was in charge.
The various shots used help to create the storyline more easily. An establishing shot at the very beginning of the film helps to set the scene, taking in the location and major characters. The use of close-ups and extreme close-ups show the emotions that certain characters are feeling, but also help to pick up on important objects that will be of significance in the film. The use of camera angles such as long shots and extreme long shots allow the viewer to take everything that is happening in, and also lets them focus on every part of the image on the screen in front of them.
