Debbie, your "worm's eye view" shot falls into the category of a "subjective shot". As delineated in many places, there are 3 shot types, objective, subjective and point-of-view. Mascelli's very worth...

Hi @Andrew I agree about text book terminology. But some shots do not fall into a written formula because of the “thoughts and feelings” surrounding a take. If a baby was being smothered and this is what their little eyes see, I would say POV from purely a psychological viewpoint.

I do love your "worms eye view" description :-) Certainly evocative.

Mascelli had a specific approach when describing, over many pages, what shots are. Worth reading and then moving on.

Question on LOOK BOOK

Dear Smarter-Than-Me Movie Peeps,

I have the opportunity to have my screenplay showed at an upcoming festival via LookBook. I put one together (my first attempt ever) using Powerpoint. I'm sure it will need a lot of work...

My question is, for those of you who have done them, what software do you use?...

Keynote for Mac. Beautifully simple and really can do a lot.

I've made look books on pages, word, even google docs. Use what you're most comfortable with. When you send/submit you'll likely be turning it into a PDF so the original program doesn't matter much. My advice: try to look at some samples from friends if you can before submitting.

I've used Google Slides (free if you have gmail account) which is just like PowerPoint but it's a web application.
