Composition is the term used to describe a way that an image/shot is set up. It is basically the putting of shots together. Except they collect all of the recordings and put them together to make one clear shot. This usually includes things like overlays/subtitles and the combination of over exposed and under exposed images into one high quality shot.
Camera Angles
The angle of a camera can give emotional information to the audience.It can also guide their judgement about the characters or an object.
The more extrememe the angle (e.g. the further away the shoti s on the left eye), the more symbolic the shot will be.
The Bird's-Eye View
This kind of shot from directly overhead is very unnatural and strange angle. Familiar objects viewed from the angle might seem totally unrecognisable at first (umbrellas in a crowd, dancers' legs). This sort of shot does , however, put the audience in a god-like position, looking down on the action. People can be made to look insignificant, ant-like, part of a wider scheme of things.
Low Angle
These increase height (useful for short actors like Tom Cruise or James McAvoy) and gives a sense of speeded motion. Low angles help give a sense of confusion to a viewer, of weakness within the action of a scene. The background of a low angle shot will tend to be just sky or ceiling, the lack of detail about the setting adding to the disorientation of the viewer. The added height of the object may make it portray fear and insecurity in the viewer, who is mentally dominated by the figure on the screen.
