The Amazing Spiderman

This is a shot from the movie The Amazing Spiderman in the scene where Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) gets covered in spiders, one of which gives him his powers. This scene is of a close shot. The close shot works out well for this scene because it gives a good view of Peter's face as he's freaking out but still shows all the spiders dropping on him. The close shot also adds to the effect of how confined Peter is, he doesn't really have a lot of room to move or get out of the way so all the spiders end up falling right on him.

The Avengers

This is a shot from the movie The Avengers in the scene where Thor is trying to fight the Hulk. The Hulk is pretty overpowering so in this shot, the camera looks over the Hulk's shoulder and down on Thor. This shot shows the difference in size between the two and makes the Hulk look that much stronger. Being that the Hulk is such a powerful and scary guy, this scene works out well for getting that idea across.

Avatar

This is a shot from the movie Avatar in the scene where Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is being chased by a Thanator. In this shot, Jake has ducked under a tree for protection. The camera at this point is looking down on Jake as the Thanator is starting to break through the roots to get to him. Jake is very defensive, he's cornered, he has his arm up to protect himself, and he looks nervous, the down shot adds to this sort of powerlessness that he has at this moment. It is also a close up shot so people can see how scared he is. The camera angles in this shot are being used to add to the level of fear and intensity of the chase.
