God’s Eye View, A Supercut of Straight Down Shots in Movies

God’s Eye View is a supercut by Brian Carroll featuring straight down shots 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.

Previously we featured Brian’s Keep on Walking supercut.
