I saw an interesting visual technique used in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998, Ritchie), at the end of the gambling scene when 'Eddy' has lost all of his money and is in serious debt. To emphasise the feelings of shock and hopelessness felt by the protagonist, a high angle shot of face has been used. A similar shot was also used in "Requiem For a Dream" (2000, Aronofsky) where the characters face is always the centre of the frame but the background surroundings are constantly in motion. In this case transitions have been used such as fades, as well as 'ghosting' which adds to the feeling of being out of control.
