"High Angle" is the name
for this kind of shot, because the
camera is high. Unless you have a
special purpose, you'll want to avoid
shooting from above.

Ever
stand up and shoot videotape of your kid doing something
cute on the floor? The resulting shot is sub-par because
you are looking down on the youngster.
Most
of the time you want to shoot people at their
eye level. It makes the camera a neutral observer. Shooting
down on people gives the impression that they are submissive.
This is called a "High Angle" shot.
While this is a technique advanced users can use to
achieve a desired effect--it's not appropriate for general
shooting.
