Here is a video I made experimenting with different camera angles + movements

• High Angle: The bully is presented as being more imposing and threatening than the victim, which is the other character in the scene.

• Low Angle: In contrast, it symbolizes "lower ground," giving the impression that an object is weaker or small. The victim would appear fragile, defenseless, or intimidated from this angle.

• Close-up shots: Mostly portrays the character's expression, here we can see both character are given close up shots of their faces, displaying their expression of determination or cowardness. 

• Extreme close-up: A shot that is only focused on small subject, like the eye, to show a deep-intense emotion. This shot captures a glare from the victim to create suspense, and a smirk to make audience feel relieved.

• Medium shots : Both characters' expressions are visible as they perform an action. Finally, they've decided to go peaceful with each others.

• Medium Shot (2) - Shows the audience the subject's actions (walking down the stairs) and facial expressions (shocked)

• Tilt up/low angle - The use of the tilt up reveals a second subject while the low angle makes the subject look intimidating and superior. This makes the audience feel worried about the first subject.

• Zoom in - bring in the audience closer to the subject (e.g. face), creating suspenseful scene and shows emotions (fear).

• Close up Shot (2) - draws the audience's attention to the second subject's emotion (serious)

• Extreme Close up (eyes) - Solely focuses on the eyes which captures the stunned look on the subject's face - which builds suspense

• Medium shot - shows both subject's actions (hugging) and emotion (happy)
