At some points in a movie you may want your characters in a specific scene to appear "larger than life" to show power. Size can also change the audience's emotions and point of focus. Shooting with a wide angle lens is one way to play with size, it will make the foreground look larger and the background appear farther away and smaller. The audience will judge size in comparison to anything or other character in the scene.
Size is a good illusion commonly used in movies, and it creates feelings of power in characters. We learned that the bigger something appears, the more powerful it is, and smaller would be weaker as well. Making a character look bigger is a good idea when they are triumphant or when you want to emphasize that they are the hero. This illusion is almost always found in movies and games alike. It's gotten to the point where I see it and I think "Yeah I get it, the Bird's eye view makes them look weak..." Please don't abuse it.
