* The history of ProfessionalWrestling has been one of routinely exaggerating performers' billed height and/or weight to make them seem literally 'larger than life'. One way this is carried over into the onscreen presentation in e.g. Wrestling/{{WWE}} is that during wrestlers' entrances to the ring or when walking backstage they will almost invariably be shot from a low angle to make them look (even) larger and more imposing. Cuts to wide shots occasionally give glimpses of the close-up cameramen scurrying backwards in front of them in a virtual crouch. When it's a wrestler who's TheGiant the angles from which they're shown will sometimes be even more extreme to make the effect still more pronounced. In fact, this trope has [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalWrestlingJargon its own name]] in the business--the "André shot", after [[Wrestling/AndreTheGiant a frequent subject]] of this camera trick.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', after Mei [[spoiler:cuts short the red moon ritual and runs off to the concert]], the camera moves in close to Ming, on her hands and knees, struggling to control her rage. When she stands up, the camera doesn't move with her; it stays low and pivots to look up at her. The worm's-eye perspective makes her look much taller than the rest of the family around her. The end of the shot has the furious Ming in the foreground, standing up rigidly straight with fists clenched and a truly terrifying expression on her face, looming over the others in a way that says "she's out of control" more clearly than any dialogue could.
