Dutch Angle: The Dutch Angle, also known as Dutch Tilt, Canted Angle, or Oblique Angle is a type of camera shot where the camera is set at an angle on its roll axis. This is so the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera. This type of shot is used in scenes to draw attention to the subject and background. The unusual angle engages the audience more. It could be ideal to use this shot at the end as it could be closing a scene on a different angle. (nofilmschool, 2015) Here is a comparison of the Dutch Angle as you can see from both of the images there are other objects in the background. The background also seems to be slightly blurred which brings all the focus back onto the main subject which is the person in this case. In my photo, the background doesn’t seem to be as blurry as I had hoped but this is what we can learn from and remember to blur it more in the future when shooting Dutch Angles. High Angle: A High-Angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up." High-Angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects. A High Angle, in particular can be used in a scene especially if the person or object is looking upwards as it shows that object is small or short and not as superior. (Mukhara, 2016)
