One Tree Hill is an American series that began in 2003. It takes place in a fictional town of Tree Hill in North Carolina. One Tree Hill is a nine-season story that begins in junior year of high school. Each episode focuses on relationships with friends, partners and parents. This is a hit TV series, what makes it great is the message behind each plot, the relatability, the interesting actors, the unique soundtrack and the good use of camera angles. This TV series is not just about the plot but the message in the plot. that viewers receive; This is a well-thought-out dramatic masterpiece, connecting with the millions of teenagers in the series' target audience on a high emotional level. Full of drama, like what happens in high school, where all the characters move from innocence to experience. The show uses the domino effect well where each small movement causes another event. This effect creates a message that your words and actions have the power to change things and make a difference. The first domino effect occurs when Lucas Scott joins the basketball team of which his half-brother is the captain. Lucas joining the team sparks drama between him and the entire basketball team along with their father. Teenagers tend to connect better to shows that relate to them or something they're familiar with like high school.

These types of shots are best suited for this type of TV show because it is a drama, there are a lot of conversations between two people for which wide angle shots would not be necessary. The camera angle in this shot is mostly at eye level, I think they use this to help us feel involved in the scenes, to get us to be more apart of them. A good drama series needs a powerful message. , interesting actors, special music and unique use of cameras. One Tree Hill has become a popular drama over the years among young adults.
