Morphology
The meaning 'the position from which a camera views its subject' is directly and compositionally derived from 'camera' (the recording device) + 'angle' (a manner or direction of viewing). This compound follows a common, cross-linguistic photographic/visual framing pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase camera angle comes from the simple picture of a camera pointing at a scene from a particular angle. If the camera looks up a person seems big and strong, and if it looks down they seem small, so the phrase means the position that changes how someone or something is 'seen'.
