"The Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, oblique angle or German angle, is a type of camera shot where the camera is tilted off to one side so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame."
In regards to shot design, the Dutch angle is used to add a new variance to an otherwise boring shot, for example standing still in a mid shot, this is a basic shot that doesn't symbolise too much, but if we make it canted it can then be interpreted differently. This is an approach that I hope to use in my own film trailer to show the character losing his mind or to show confusion.
