Why are camera angles important to a movie?

Answer 1

Every shot in a movie is carefully planned out with regard to exactly what will be included in the shot and from what angles, to achieve certain effects. It may be something as simple as emphasizing an actor's best facial angles, or to avoid showing something in the background that would change the mood or give away the location of the shot. The same is true of lighting. It is planned carefully and executed precisely to provide the effect, visual mood and otherwise enhance the shot to the greatest possible extent.

Look at a still portrait by a professional photographer, and compare it with a snapshot from a family party to see the differences. Analyze the direction of the light, the effect it has, the surroundings and what they say about the subject, and the angle from which the photo was taken. You can learn a lot that way. Google "composition+lighting" for more.
