Camera shots and angles: low level

These angles can give an increase in height for the actors and actresses and can also give a sense of speeded motion. Low angles can give a sense of confusion or powerlessness to the audience when used in film.

Examples:

The Fast and the Furious: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is an American 2006 street racing action film and the third instalment in The Fast and the Furious film series that stars Lucas Black, Bow Wow and Nathalie Kelley. The film follows the life of Alabama teenager Sean Boswell becomes a major competitor in the world of drift racing after moving in with his father in Tokyo to avoid a jail sentence in America. Low angles are used widely within the film and are usually used in scenes of where a race is taking place. The low angles emphasise the speed that the vehicle is travelling at and highlight the consequences that could come from such a high speed, i.e. crashes:
