In this scene where V has taken over BTN and i broadcasting his message throughout london, McTeigue shows us V on the television screen with a low angle shot. To make v look like he has sense of strength this is important because he is one person going up against the government that is made up of more people, who have the upperhand of already having molded the people of london but even tho Vis only one his Idea is strong enough to get everyone to come together(strength through unity)To overcome the government through is Idea, because if you have an idea that is worth sharing you need to take a stand because you won't have a McTeigue uses various wide and slight low angle shots to convey to us that the people who are watching the television (V) so intently that the media has a kind of power over its users, because this is the way the government has manipulated its peoples views especially the young people, the children, teenages.
