Dutch Tilts and Security Camera Shots

In my teaser trailer, I am going to use Dutch tilts to create a feeling of disorder.

Dutch tilts are often used to depict the psychological discomfort in the subject being filmed. This shot is achieved by tilting the camera to the side, and the majority of Dutch angles are static shots (I have challenged this by including a Dutch tilt that zooms in). Dutch tilts can also add a feeling of creativity to a piece and make the whole aesthetic of a shot more eye-catching. 


I am also going to apply security camera shots to my work.

Security camera shots are a speciality form of high-angle shots, taken from the corner of a room. In my teaser trailer, I am going to use security camera shots to show that an all-powerful force is watching Shelly and Constance. The unknown and dominant being is Shelly’s insanity, as this is the real villain/problem in my storyline, not the doll. These shots will also help to establish where my main characters are sitting (180 degree rule).
