Nostril Shot
 |
"I am so scared right now...!" |
 |
A close-up shot taken from a low position upward toward the actors.
A classic example comes from The Blair Witch Project, spawning several parodies from Scary Movie (complete with a runny nose that just keeps running) to The Simpsons.
Examples of Nostril Shot include:
Film - Live Action
- As noted in the main text -- and illustrated with the page image -- The Blair Witch Project.
- The intro to Fight Club -- the camera starts in the protagonist's brain, zooms through his head before finally emerging through his nostril and along the barrel of a gun jammed in his mouth.
Live-Action TV
- Done easily and often in Whose Line Is It Anyway? One game of World's Worst involves examples of the world's worst tv show, and Greg Proops and Drew Carey take turns to move too close to the camera, "announcing" the TV shows "You're Standing Too Close" and "What's Up My Nose".
Newspaper Comic
- Leslie mimicked this shot when he and the guys were lost in the woods in a Liberty Meadows comic.
Web Comics
- Done in one Sluggy Freelance strip where Bun-Bun ends up shoving the camera up Torg's nose.
