Dutch Tilt
The "Dutch Tilt," also known as a canted angle or Dutch angle, is a camera technique where the camera is tilted to one side, creating a slanted horizon line. This effect can evoke feelings of unease, tension, or disorientation in the viewer. It is often used in film and photography to enhance dramatic moments or to suggest instability in a scene.
This technique is commonly seen in genres like horror, thriller, and action films, where it helps to convey a character's psychological state or the chaos of a situation. Directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Tim Burton have effectively employed the Dutch Tilt to create memorable visual storytelling.
