Camera Tilts
Tilting the camera off axis, isn’t a safe idea if your filming a traditional way. Perhaps you’re filming an interview or for a TV show, then a tilt might look like the camera operator couldn’t be botherd to level the tripod. However if you’re seeking a unique style or looking to add some creativity to your shots then try tilting your camera.
WHY?
Well, take a look at the first example below of the black bollards near the Thames in London. As the railing disappears into the distance, it creates a line of perspective that we can use to our advantage. There is no right or wrong way to tilt, let yourself be the judge depending on your subject.
It’s important that you don’t “over tilt” your work, it’s best to keep this style to a specific shot and it will have a larger impact if only used once or twice. If you tilt too often, it could become very “samey”.
We hope these examples help to inspire.
