The Dutch Angle, or Dutch Tilt, camera angle is often used to evoke feelings of uneasiness or tension in a scene. It is achieved by tilting the camera at an angle off the horizontal plane. The most common camera angle used in films is the medium shot, which is between a full shot and a close-up. The 'God's Eye View' camera angle is used to give the audience an omniscient view of a scene. It is often used to show the relationship between different characters or objects in a scene.
