Top angle/ Bird’s Eye (900): It is also called as aerial view or American Bird’s eye view (ABEV). The scene is shown from directly above. It shows the object and it’s surrounding details also. This is a completely different and somewhat unnatural point of view which can be used for dramatic effect or for showing a different spatial perspective. In drama it can be used to show the positions and motions of different characters and objects, enabling the viewer to see things the characters can't. This view is very useful in sports, documentaries etc. Following are the four examples of Top angle.
