Composition
> Angles > Low Angle
|
"Low Angle" is the name
for this kind of shot, because the
camera is low. It's useful
because it can make people look powerful.
But avoid it for most general shooting.

Similarly,
shooting up at someone makes them seem powerful and
dominant. This is called a "low angle"
shot. Watch any old horror movie and you will notice
that the monster is always shot from a low angle--typically
with the camera on the floor.
You
can make your 4-year-old look like the star of "Honey
I Blew up the Kid" just by putting your camcorder on
the floor and shooting up.
