The relationship between the camera and the subject is highly important and gives an emotional connection between the viewer and the performer / artist.

Eye level - Common, it shows the subject as we expect to see them.

Low angle - The subject of the video is being filmed from below with the camera is angled upwards towards the subject, this gives the impression of the subject being powerful.

High angle shot - the subject is shot from above making them look smaller than they are and less powerful than they are.

Oblique angle - this is an camera angle that is tilted and is sometimes used as a point of view shot. This shot traditionally shows chaos in a scene.

Birds eye view - this angle is straight down on the subject and is directly overhead of the subject. Thus shot makes the subject seem less significant and less important in the larger story that is going on around them.
