Which shot is the Bird's Eye View, taken from above looking down?

• A. Extreme Close Up
• B. Arial Shot
• C. Establishing Shot
• D. Wide Shot

Answer: (B)

A Bird's Eye View is a shot taken from directly above the scene, looking straight down. An aerial shot delivers that exact top-down perspective, usually filmed from a helicopter, drone, or other high platform, and it’s great for showing layout, geography, or the scale of a location. The other options don’t match this overhead angle: an extreme close-up focuses on a tiny detail up close, an establishing shot is a broad view used to set the location but isn’t necessarily overhead, and a wide shot shows a large area at a normal angle rather than from above. So the aerial shot is the one that best represents a Bird's Eye View.
