"description": "Camera angle classification based on the vertical orientation of the camera's optical axis relative to the subject. Determines whether the camera looks down, across, or up at the subject.",

"num_classes": 5,
"classes": [
{
"code": "OVH",
"label": "overhead",
"display_name": "Overhead",
"definition": "Camera looks nearly straight down on the subject, approaching perpendicular to the ground plane. Angle relative to ground exceeds approximately 70 degrees.",
"psychological_effect": "Omniscience, detachment, tactical overview, vulnerability of subject.",

{
"code": "HIGH",
"label": "high_angle",
"display_name": "High Angle",
"definition": "Camera is above subject's eye level and angled downward. Subject is recognizable from a front or side perspective (not purely top-down). Horizon line typically in the upper half of frame.",
"psychological_effect": "Diminishment, vulnerability, overview, context.",
"broadcast_frequency": "very_common",
"typical_platforms": ["main_broadcast_camera", "gantry_camera", "upper_tier"]

{
"code": "NEU",
"label": "neutral",
"display_name": "Neutral / Eye Level",
"definition": "Camera at approximately the same height as the subject's eyes or center of mass. Optical axis roughly horizontal (within ±10 degrees). The psychologically 'transparent' default angle.",
"psychological_effect": "Equality, naturalism, objectivity, conversational rapport.",

"label": "low_angle",
"display_name": "Low Angle",
"definition": "Camera is below subject's eye level and angled upward. Subject framed against sky, ceiling, or elevated background. Horizon line typically in the lower third of frame.",

{
"code": "DUTCH",
"label": "dutch_angle",
"display_name": "Dutch Angle",
"definition": "Camera rotated along its longitudinal (roll) axis, creating a visibly tilted horizon. A deliberate compositional choice for disorientation or dynamism, not the result of an unsteady camera.",
"psychological_effect": "Unease, disorientation, tension, stylistic emphasis.",
"broadcast_frequency": "very_rare",
"typical_platforms": ["specialty_camera", "replay_camera"]

],
"default_class": "NEU",
"ordering": "OVH → HIGH → NEU → LOW form a vertical axis. DUTCH is orthogonal (roll axis) and can co-occur with any vertical angle.",
"notes": "Minor deviations from horizontal (±10 degrees) should be classified as NEU. Only label HIGH or LOW when the departure from horizontal is noticeable and intentional."
