A Movie Montage of the "God's Eye View" Shooting Angle

submitted by eric3579

1 decade 2 years 5 months 4 weeks ago

Check out my latest montage of straight down shots used in films. This type of shot is commonly referred to as a "God's Eye View" angle. The camera lens is perpendicular to the subject without any POV reference, which gives the viewer an omniscient viewpoint of the character and the surrounding space. The video is cut to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Down Boy" from the "Is Is" album.Oh and there's lots of death in there too so Happy Halloween! -YT

I could only identify a fraction...Green Mile. Indiana Jones. Mission Impossible. True Grit. Eternal Sunshine. The Birds. Kick Ass. War of the Worlds. Carrie. Tron Legacy. I Robot. Dark City. Apocalypto. Plus Kill Bill and Rocky, I think.

Couple of top-down shots from The Fountain that he missed. A fun perspective when you see all of them together. Sounds like an interesting idea for a short film.
