I believe low angle shots can give you an intimate view of the character's feelings from the ground. One of my favorites is from the Green Mile. Paul has just lowered himself after being hit. The low angle shot of him trying to get up gives the audience a sympathetic view of the struggle without seeing the rest. The Director could have kept the shot on Paul's body and let the scene run, but focusing the camera at his head puts you right there with him.

Here's the shot. It's about 35 second in.
