worms eye view

Looking up angle

A worm's eye view is the perspective from ground level looking upward—what a worm would see.

In photography and film, it describes shots taken from very low angles, making subjects appear towering or imposing.

The phrase contrasts with bird's eye view: The director used a worm's eye view to make the villain seem more threatening.
