We all know that the first few seconds of a video are key to getting your audience to stick around. But have you thought about how you’re using angles to pull people in? Visual hooks are essential for scroll-stopping content, and experimenting with camera angles is an easy way to get creative and capture your viewers attention.
If you’re a creator looking to try something new or a brand briefing UGC creators to level up your campaigns, let’s explore some of the best camera angles for creator-generated content that will make your videos pop.
This shot, often known as the ‘worms eye’ angle, takes viewers on a bit of a journey - literally!
The bag POV has been gaining popularity, especially for unboxing and reveals. The unique POV places the audience inside the bag, looking up at the creator’s face. It’s a fresh perspective that makes the viewer feel like they’re right there, experiencing the moment alongside the creator.
It’s the perfect behind-the-scenes vibe, giving the audience that fly-on-the-wall feeling, where they get to witness both the product reveal and the creator’s genuine reaction all in one shot.
Ground level shots are a great way to switch things up from the usual eye-level selfies. This angle gives you a completely different perspective that draws the viewer in with a fresh and unique viewpoint.
Great for those video capturing you walking from behind, or wanting to elongate your camera angle.
This is a fun, sneaky angle that makes your content feel more immersive and unfiltered. Instead of a clean, perfectly framed shot, filming behind an object adds a sense of depth - like the viewer just happened to catch the moment.
Being partially hidden behind everyday objects (like plants, books, or even a coffee cup) makes the scene feel more natural and lived-in, almost as if the audience is peeking into something real rather than watching a staged setup.

The high angle shot is perfect for adding a wider, more dynamic feel to UGC. With the camera angle just above eye level and tilting slightly downward, this shot naturally brings more of the surroundings into frame - creating a more immersive and engaging perspective.
This angle works especially well for capturing movement, showcasing a full outfit or product, and making content feel more spacious and cinematic. Whether it’s a creator walking, reaching for a product, or filming a lifestyle moment, the high angle shot draws the viewer in while keeping the scene visually interesting.
Unlike the high-angle shot, the bird’s eye view looks directly down from above. This is especially effective for showing close-up details, whether the creator is lying down, looking up, or demonstrating something like cooking or using a product.
This angle is great for videos where you want to show more of the scene or product clearly. It's perfect for tutorials, cooking demos, or even when you want to emphasize the product’s features while the creator interacts with it.
