Camera Angles

BIRDS EYE VIEW:

The bird’s eye view angle is used in film to showcase complex movement and show details of the mise-en-scene elements. This can also be used to disconnect the character from the rest.

Some directors also use this angle to bring awareness that someone is watching over the events making the viewers question the morality of what is taking place.
