The meaning and audience's perception and interaction with an image can be changed depending on where the camera is positioned, If the camera is looking up at a subject the low angle will allow the subject to be presented as intimating as they're looking down at the camera and therefore the audience. A high angle shot in which the camera looks down a subject will present the subject as being innocent or inferior to the audience, an eye level shot will have little to no effect on the viewer unless the camera is zoomed in on a subject - for example an extreme close up of eyes would create an intimate shot and may therefore make the viewer feel uncomfortable. Bird's eye view shots are considered establishing shots as they help to present a character in relation to their surroundings while a worms eye view is used to presented the view from a pet and a POV shot from that of a human. Another viewpoint frequently used in photography is a tilted angle (Dutch/canted angle) shot which distorts reality to a degree and makes the viewer feel out of place due to the unnatural angle.

original images
I then went out to experiment with different view points, I found that I really liked taking photos while looking through objects such as grass as it gave the view of someone spying on another or that of a small animal. I also photographed places you wouldn't normally see such as through cracks and inside the bin.
Edited Photos
To edit my photos I primarily increased the brightness and contrast so that the colours would pop out and the image would appear more vibrant. I also used an app on the iPad to edit the photos looking up through a basketball hoop, I experimented with different filters and layer adjustments until I achieved outcomes that I liked.I feel that I ended up with somewhat of a cinematic appearance in the last image due to the lens fare.
