Worm's eye view

This is a worm's eye view shot. This shot is conducted at floor level and appears to remain in one position as a scene plays out. This is called "the worm's eye view" as, well, obviously due to the low camera postioning but also as worm's are rather helpless creatures and so cannot fend for themselves. The lack of mobility of the camera reflects the common tendencies of the worm. This can help to create an effective scene as it varies from many common shots and can create a unique sense of inclusion of the audience into the scene which can increase the like-ability of the entire production. These shots can also be conducted at various other angles as long as the frame remains in a low area.
