" Usually the camera is located above the eye line. With this type of angle, the camera looks down on the subject and the point of focus often get "swallowed up" by the setting. High angle shots also make the figure or object seem vulnerable or powerless. High angle shots are usually used in film to make the moment more dramatic or if there is someone at a high level that the character below is talking to. "
Low Angle
"In cinematography, a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. It is used to make the camera subject look powerful."
Canted Angle
"A canted angle is often used to portray the psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed. A canted angle is achieved by tilting the camera off to the side so that the shot is composed with the horizon at an angle to the bottom of the frame. Many canted angles are static shots at an obscure angle, but in a moving canted angle shot the camera can pivot, pan or track along the director/cinematographer's established diagonal axis for the shot."
