Analysis of shot

The angle used in this shot is an low angle shot. This angle may have been used to create a feeling that the man on top of the drawers is powerful and big. However, in this case I believe that it has done the opposite. By positioning the man and the drawer in the centre, and also by having the man on the drawer in a difficult position can also make him look like he is in a difficult situation which he is having trouble getting out of. Therefore, this is creating a very contrasted look to what a low angle shot usually would create. Another way that this shot has created this feel is the lighting. By having a mostly dark shot with the light mainly on the man, again this creates a shot that looks as if everything is concentrated on the man. It can also be seen that this light is not from an electric light in the room, but that it is coming from the window on the roof, implying that it is the moonlight.
