A shot in which the camera is tilted, so that the horizon and vertical lines run at an angle. It is also called a Dutch tilt or canted angle.
The tilted frame creates a feeling of tension, confusion or movement. The technique is common in film and music videos. Used too often, it can look like a mistake.
