roonst83 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 What are we all thinking of the new camera angle? I seem to remember we had a similar one a few years ago. I cant make up my mind - it seems to make the ground look more full as it hides the empty seats well (perhaps this was in the thinking) but i'm always a bit miffed when things like this change - and I thought it was only in the cup we see different angles. Against Everton it was back to normal strangely. Just wondered what you lot thought about it? And if you knew the reasons behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Er, I didn't notice a change. Do you have any pictorial examples of before and after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The older one was a lot better .. Now it reminds ne of West Ham or QPR cameras .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Agreed. Way too low. Doesn't capture the size of the pitch well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Speaking of cameras, is that the reason why we have electronic ad boards in front of the Holte, Trinity and North but not Witton Lane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 You're obviously all very young because the camera position was always low at Villa Park until the new Witton Lane stand was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Its awful. It makes Villa Park look tiny and its far to close to the pitch. Its like those cack camera angle ITV have in the early FA Cup rounds when they do 10 second highlights of the matches. Though it isn't as bad as shite hart lane's view between two massive pillars. Still it might be a subtle way of getting people to watch the match live rather than shout at the television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Not sure who's idea it is to keep moving these cameras lower. Over the last few years on MOTD I have noticed Bolton and West Ham do the same, just makes it hard to tell where exactly players are on the pitch, should always be high up.

LondonLax Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ironic though that that is the angle the managers watch the game from. I have often wondered if they would be better off in the stands getting more of an over view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Maybe that is why Old Trafford has the dug outs are higher up? Would make sense. I hate watching a game from the lower stands and the first few rows, you cant tell whats going at all.
