High angle shot

Makes people look smaller and more vunerable (used when the hero is at their weakest point)

Low angle shot

Makes the villain feel superior and the audience feel weak

(Like the opening scene of the silence of the lambs where Hopkins gets slightly more superior)

Typically used in a horror movie. creates tension
