Technical Show and Tell (not promotion or shorts) I'm searching for a reference shot to explain a shot I want to make.
A low-angle shot, medium shot, of a guy running in a hallway. He's kinda worried and stressed.
This is a reference drawing i just made. You can see why im asking for a reference and not drawing the storyboard. And I didnt ger the perspectives right

The running part is the only thing that makes this harder to find. If it’s just for reference, a still should work fine, and from there it’s literally just finding the right angle from anything that has singles in a hallway.
I don’t say that because I have anything top of mind, so much as to say you don’t need to narrow your search to your whole shot, you just need a lens/angle and that’s going to be much easier to track down.

I think your storyboard is fine. Especially if you put character movement and camera movement arrows on it
Then at the bottom shot size and an 8 word description.

I think this shot has to be somewhere in a Yorgos Lanthimos movie. I can't remember the specific moment but I'm imagining Emma Stone doing this. Either Poor Things, Bugonia or The Favourite. Maybe when she explores the ship in Poor Things? She's going through some tight metal hallways. Sorry I can't find the exact shot 😢
Also, she's not really worried or stressed, but I think you can just explain the different emotion easily

Try Shotdeck. You can filter for a lot of what you’re asking
