Even though this chapter is all about composition of films, the key thing that stuck with me is "Remember that every decision you make will carry emotional weight." 

As someone who is not familiar with film making, even in the slightest, I have never been aware of the camera angles and heights affecting the emotional weight of a film like they do. As a watcher, I have definitely picked up on the emotional cues the director is executing, but never put two and two together. If you want the character to seem weak or vulnerable, a high angled shot that is above the characters eyes will portray them as that, and if you want the character to seem powerful, a low angled shot that is below their eyes will give that effect.

This article describes the types of camera angles in films and provides examples! I found the examples fun to watch.
