Converging verticals


This is a term that is used to describe the effect of parallel lines getting closer together, particularly the two sides of a building, or a section of a building, while filming from a low angle of view. This phenomenon takes place when the photographer tilts the camera either upwards or downwards in order to capture the full structure in the photograph.
