Camera angles- Birds eye view

DoYoon Kim Street Photography - Bird's eye view of a womanThis angle shows a scene from directly overhead, as though the observer were a bird giving it a 3D like quality.The angle is viewed at an approximately 45 degrees and puts the audience in a godlike position looking down on the action. It is mostly common for places such as towns, cities, homes and neighbourhood to be captured from this angle as it shows the scene from a different perspective and shows the image more clearly, which gives the audience a better understanding of the setting. It can be used to emphasis the compactness or insignificance of the subjects and to establish where the character is. Directors often use the birds eye view when they want to make some kind of dramtic comment on a sence or character.
