Overhead example
Demonstrated with a mannequin in Rolin's 3D virtual studio.

What it is

The camera hangs directly above the subject, usually with a top-down angle.

When to use it

Turns the frame into a floor plan: formations, tabletops and ground patterns read clearly, with a sense of fate or detachment.

When not to

When faces or depth of movement need to read.
