tiltshot (oblique angle)
Til shot, also known as an oblique angle, is a camera tilted up or down on a diagonal along a vertical axis. A vertical camera movement from a fixed position often used to suggest an imbalance, or strangeness, or to emphasize size, power or menace. Also known as "tilt pan," "tilt up," or "tilt down" (or reveal), or "vertical pan," although not technically the same as "pan up" or "pan down," similar to a moving close-up. A "dutch angle" is filmed at an extreme diagonal tilt.
