The picture to the left is a scene from the movie Pulp Fiction. Two gangsters (played by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson) enter an apartment which has a few late teens in, in the morning. The teens have done something that has annoyed the gangsters boss, and they have been sent to seemingly intimidate them. The movie was directed by Quentin Tarantino.

The picture shows the status of the characters in the scene. The gangster is shown as being higher up than the teenager, and the use of a reverse shot shows the contrast between the characters in terms of confidence and physical size. The other teen in the background is shown nervously glancing at the two, whilst leaning uncomfortably against the door, showing how he is in fear and doesn't want anyone walking around behind him, intimidating him.
