The antagonist is in this shot because the audience is then seeing the main reason and build up to this whole scene. Such as Moriarty stealing the crown jewels. This low angle mid long shot allows the audience to see all the full effect of the glass smashing. The shot makes the audience feel like a rush of adrenaline and intensity flows through them, creating this captivating scene keeping them glued to the screen.

    The shots make the actors more courageous or important. As it is in the film when the body of Claire lies on the glass while Norman stands over her, the low shot shows that he is the bad guy and is in control. A boundary that was never stated, although portrayed by the camera angles. Zemeckis, as a director, only allows certain things to be seen at a time to help the audience catch certain actions of the characters. When she walks backwards down the steps and the view is up the stairs, limiting the audience’s view of what’s behind Claire.

    Similarly, in Corpse Bride, Burton uses a low angle on the bride when she rises out of the ground. When the audience sees the bride from this angle, one can imagine how Victor sees her, and begins to feel frightened by her, because she appears so much larger than a normal sized person. It is not until later in the movie does one realize that she is actually an average-sized person. This effect is achieved because of the angle on the bride when the audience first sees her. Additionally, Burton uses a long shot in Edward Scissorhands when we see the mob of people enter the forest.

    The bird’s eye view shots in North by Northwest created true “cliffhanging” suspense, like the Mt. Rushmore chase scene. The use of wide-angle shots gave the audience a feeling of helplessness that feeds into the suspense. Also, the camera would cut quickly between actors to give a sense of urgency and fear. By comparison, Rear Window’s cinematography seems less rushed and urgent, but that does not mean it is any less suspenseful. The film was shot mainly from Jeff’s perspective, in his apartment looking across the courtyard into his neighbors’ windows.

    In my opinion there is a reason why Miyazaki had chosen to use these shots on our antagonist, Yubaba. For example, Miyazaki has used the low angle shot on Yubaba to show the viewers how evil, powerful, and superior her character is, including the close up shots that have been used to help the viewers see what Yubaba was thinking without her talking because of her facial expressions with the help of the close up shot. I think point has made the film insightful and entertaining because it shows the audience how the gender roles are switched up in the film and how it is lightly connected to real life. This shows the audience that not every girl / women is weak, submissive or treated less than men.
