Wayne, that could be so, very interesting! Nonetheless, the result is the same. The “look” that the low angle gives is what I’m focused on, and you may very well be pointing out another factor that could create it. In the end, it has the result I’m after. It’s all about that long stretch of foreground leading up to the subject!

Just a word on the Superman image – it may not be the best example to have used since it’s not strictly a low-angle shot.

I could be wrong here, but it actually looks as if the area where the camera is placed is lower than where Superman is standing – ie, it appears as if the camera is at the bottom of a little embankment.

So, whilst the shot is, indeed, *lower* than the subject, this particular shot is more a function of the terrain, then the camera being shot at the subject or cameraman’s knee height, as suggested in your video.

Nitpicky, I know – but wanted to point it out all the same.
