God's Eye View

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!

If you think that a birds view is God view, you clearly don't understand what God is.

Still very nice made.

@seekerofenlightment Thanks. I'm not making a statement about what a god views or what anyone else believes. It's just a film/photography term sometimes used to describe an extreme bird's eye view angle.

There is only one way to watch this video. Lay your laptop or computer screen on the floor and look down at it.

@seekerofenlightment My god, religious people are so pretentious... It is a cinematographic term! Do they have to run everything by you to check if it offends god?

[TimeParadox33]

Thanks to you I listen now to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, excellent vid and choice of music! Too bad your video is blocked in Germany...

FACT: You can't have a good montage of film aspects without a clip from Scott Pilgrim

[Tommybeelersaccount]

You forgot the one from the Wall.

Respond to this video...

Thank you so much Stenbocken for indicating the clips! Editcadet1, your editing is quite delicious and the whole thing is quite mesmerizing. I sat down and rewatched it over and over again with my daughter who kept asking me about all the different scenes. Thank you for your work, it shows you truly enjoy what you do! Happy New Year!
