High angles are used to make the person in the shot look small, vunerable or weak. Here a high angle is used to show how Catelyn Stark looks down on Jon Snow and how she values him in her family.
Low angle
Low angles are used to make the person in shot come across as a tall, dominant figure who is intimidating. Here this shot is used in constrast with the one used for low angle as it shows Catelyn Stark looking down on Jon Snow from above which shows her power above him but also that she doesn't like him.
Eye level
Eye levels are used to add normality for the viewer. This shot above shows that even though she is leading an army Daenerys is just a young girl still. It also shows her determination.
Over the shoulder
Over the shoulder shots place us in the situation and make the viewer feel involved. The shot above is used to put us in the situation to watch how Daenerys reacts to being told her child has died. The man's face is hid so we don't know what's going on at first as we would see he is upset to tell her.
Point of view
Point of view shots are used to engage the viewer and to feel connected but also empathy to the person who we're seeing the point of view of. Here we see a shot from someone hiding from Cersei - who is the queen - which makes us feel connected to the character in a way we feel bad for them. We do this because Cersei's character is dangerous and that the person is probably and trouble and will be sent to death.
Canted angle
Canted angles are when the camera is titled sideways or is put on a diagnal. This is used to create distortion in the scene and a sense of disruption. Above the shot is used to create suspicion and an air of unease in the room and this links with the program as it is about murder and mystery.
