Camera angles are a key concept anyone in film should know. There are 8 different types of camera angles I had to take notes on in class:

Shot #1: Low Angle (LA):Below eye-line looking up. Used to Make character look powerful. E.G (Super Heroes ; Super Villains)

Shot #2: High Angle (HA): Used to diminish a character and also used to present cities or big landscapes.

Shot #3: Overhead Shot: Directly above a subject, shooting STRAIGHT down.

Shot #4: Dutch Angle: Shots are a Rotated. 

Shot #5: Eye Level (EL): Most commonly used. Does not impose judgement.

Shot #6: Hip Level Shot: It is also called the cowboy shot because in western movies, it is commonly used to show a gun or weapon on the holster of a cowboy.

Shot #7: Knee Level Shot: Shows character details.

Shot #8: Ground Level Shot: Finds camera place all the way down on the ground. Low Angle.
