'The Trunk shot' is a camera angle used when one or more character need to retrieve something from a lower angle (i.e the trunk of a car). Even though Tarantino is renowned for this shot, he did not invent it. Although he did popularize the Trunk shot which is featured in; Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs. In Inglorious Basterds a 'Trunk shot' is used when Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) crouches over a captured Nazi with the 'Bear Jew' and carves a swastika into his fore head. The point of view from the camera is supposed to be of the Nazi's vision.
