Angles
Vertical Angle
These suggest different links of power relationships between the represented person(s) or participants and the viewer. • High angle – the viewer is looking down on the represented person, putting the viewer in a more powerful position • Low angle – the viewer looks up to the represented person, putting the viewer in a less powerful position • Eye level – the point of view is one of equality with no power difference involved (Kress & van Leeuwen 1996.)
Horizontal angles
• frontal angle – suggests viewer involvement with the person or objects in the image • oblique angle – suggest viewer detachment with the persons or objects in the image (Kress & van Leeuwen 1996)

The definition of angles are quite clear. But I cannot not tell the difference obviously from your image example. You should choose some typical examples than this.
ReplyDeleteActually, I haven't understand what is about your first image....
ReplyDeleteYou mentions about the power, yes, that's very important.
