Movies - Trunk shot


The Trunk shot is a camera angle used in cinema when protagonists need to retrieve something or someone from the trunk of a a car. The trunk shot is fabricated by placing the camera inside of the trunk of a car and filming the action outside of the trunk of the car. This camera angle is often noted to be the trademark of film maker Quentin Tarantino
who disputes that he puts the shot in his films as a trademark and simply asks "Where would you put the camera?".

Tarantino did not invent this shot though. It was seen previously in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas
, which is thought to be Quentin's inspiration for the shot.
