Camera Angle ideas

I have been watching several soap trailers and have envisaged some camera angles to use for my soap trailer. Sme of the abstract shots I want to use are:

Dutch Tilt
- Dutch Tilt/ Oblited/ Canted Angle
I plan to use this shot at least once in my filming process, this is one of my favourite shots to use in productions, I feel it adds an abstract angle which is very effective. This shot type is ofetn handheld, but I feel it can also be effective in a steady shot with the use of a tripod.


-Over The Shoulder 
I want to use several over the shoulder shots, some concepts we have storyboarded as a team are to use this for the love triangle scene and the drug dealer/ Jack The Lad scene.

- Eye Level
This will be very effective in a soap trailer as it will portray the emotion of the characters and have this emotion at an equal level to the viewer as opposed to a high/ low angle shot, this will be paired with a close up or an Extreme close-up for further effect. 


Another shot we would love to use, but is almost impossible to conduct is a birds eye view of the scene, a concept I came up with was for the final scene to zoom out to a birds eye view of the street 'Avenue' and the town to show the location of the soap, unfortunately, without investment, we are unable to afford a helicopter.
