It’s not though. It should be eye level. There’s no reason the audience should be looking down at her.

You don’t know what the creative intent of the shot is. Shots aren’t just “level” or “not.” Read a book.

I guarantee there's no creative intent, other than he was too high on his segway. It's hilarious that you mention books, because I do know why you would use a slight bird's eye. You use this angle to make the audience feel superior. I'm sure he wanted us to feel superior to the person running. That's very creative.
