The Bird’s Eye View shot is captured from directly overhead, looking straight down on the subject or scene. It’s often used to show scale, spatial relationships, or make characters appear small and vulnerable. Also known as the God’s Eye View, it creates a sense of distance, control, or even fate from above. Directors use it to enhance storytelling by visually conveying power dynamics or isolation. This cinematic technique transforms space into narrative—visually striking and thematically rich.
