Dutch Angle
The "Dutch Angle," also known as the "Dutch Tilt" or "Canted Angle," is a camera technique used in photography and filmmaking. It involves tilting the camera on its roll axis, resulting in a slanted horizon line. This technique creates a sense of unease, tension, or disorientation, making it popular in genres like horror and thriller.
By altering the viewer's perspective, the Dutch Angle can emphasize a character's emotional state or highlight a dramatic moment. It is often used in scenes where something is amiss, enhancing the storytelling by visually representing chaos or instability, as seen in works by directors like Alfred Hitchcock.
