worm's-eye view
Looking up from below
A worm's-eye view is the perspective from below looking upward, as if seen by a creature on the ground.
In photography and film, it describes shots taken from a low angle pointing up.
The phrase contrasts with bird's-eye view: The architect's rendering showed both a bird's-eye view and a worm's-eye view of the proposed tower.
