How do you limit the first person cameras range of motion?

What do you want to achieve?
I want to limit the range of motion of a first-person camera. I don’t want a player to be able to look straight down or up.

What is the issue?
I am currently working on a horror game and have a script that allows the player to see their body in first person. This works well, however, if a player were to look straight down they can see the top of their body which ruins the effect. How can I limit the range of motion for the first-person camera?

What solutions have you tried so far?
I have searched the internet and have not found anything.

Pictured below is what the player can see if they look straight down.

Ideally, I would have the camera stop here.

May I have the script so that I can look into it and edit it?

Sure, here it is.

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character.Humanoid

player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 0.5
camera.FieldOfView = 100
humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, 0, -1)

for childIndex, child in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
	if child:IsA("BasePart") and child.Name ~= "Head" then

		child:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
			child.LocalTransparencyModifier = child.Transparency
		end)

		child.LocalTransparencyModifier = child.Transparency

	end
end

Alright, a few changes hope this helps:

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character.Humanoid

player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 0.5
camera.FieldOfView = 110
humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, -1, -1)

for childIndex, child in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
	if child:IsA("BasePart") and child.Name ~= "Head" then

		child:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
			child.LocalTransparencyModifier = child.Transparency
		end)

		child.LocalTransparencyModifier = child.Transparency

	end
end
