Camera shots and perspective: The low angle shot

Reservoir Dogs, 1992

An Example of camera angle that added to the viewers connection with a scene is the trunk shot in Quintin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. With the low angle shot, the viewer is placed with the point of view coming from the trunk. This shot of the actors looking down upon the camera has been used in multiple Tarantino films. Think how much different this scene would seem if it was shot from another perspective.
