1. Wolfman Like Me

This is a montage of straight-down shots used in various 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.

Fantastic! Keep up the good work! Very surprised not to see the one from Leon/The Professional in there though. The bit where Gary Oldman shoots the girl in the bath. There's also quite a good one in Highlander.
