What is a worm's eye camera angle?

A worm's eye camera angle refers to an extremely low camera position that captures the scene from a perspective very close to the ground, often looking upward. This angle allows viewers to experience a sense of dominance or towering presence from the subjects within the frame. For instance, when filming a character who is standing, the camera positioned low to the ground emphasizes their height and grandeur, making the viewer feel smaller and possibly more vulnerable. Such a perspective can evoke specific emotions or highlight particular themes, such as power dynamics or the significance of a character in the narrative context.

The other choices don't accurately describe a worm's eye view. A shot at eye level represents a neutral perspective, a shot above the subject's perspective conveys a bird’s eye view, and a slight angle doesn’t convey the dramatic effect characteristic of a worm's eye angle.
