EYE-LEVEL SHOT — camera positioned at EXACTLY the subject's eye height, lens axis perfectly horizontal. NO tilt up, NO tilt down. The subject's eyes are aligned directly with the camera lens — a level-to-level connection. Neither looking down ON her nor looking up AT her. This is the neutral baseline camera angle. Medium close-up framing (chest to top of head). Direct natural eye contact. The feeling is conversational and equal, like standing face to face with her.
