low angle shots

A low-angle shot is a filmed perspective where the camera is positioned below the subject, looking upward. This technique makes the subject appear larger, more powerful, or dominant, often conveying strength, authority, or intimidation. It’s commonly used in movies to emphasize a character’s significance or to create a sense of awe. By shooting from a low angle, the viewer’s perspective shifts, influencing how they perceive the subject’s role in the scene. This shot is a versatile tool for filmmakers to subtly communicate character traits and emotional undertones without explicit dialogue.
