Camers angles- Oblique/Canted Angle

 Also known as the 'Dutch', 'German', and 'Batman' angle. Often used to suggest transition, instability and disorientation, it is achieved by tilting the camera off to the side so that the shot is composed with the horizon at an angle to the bottom of the frame. This angle is very popular in horror movies and when the camera becomes the 'eyes' of a character to show what they are seeing, this is a very effective technique to use in a film, however over using this angle can become a subject of mockery and critisium. The use of the cantated angle originated from Germany in the 1930s and quickly spread to other regions of the world, it was highly used in the tv series 'batman'.
