low shot

Below the knees

A low shot in photography or film is captured from below the typical eye-level perspective, with the camera angled upward toward the subject.

This technique makes subjects appear larger, more powerful, or more imposing: The director used a low shot to emphasize the villain's dominance.

In sports, a low shot is one aimed near the ground, particularly in soccer or hockey: He fired a low shot into the corner of the net.
