Tilting is a movement of the fixed camera, in which the camera pivots vertically, from up to down, or vice versa. Tilting a camera is a motion similar to that of someone nodding their head to indicate “yes.” See also panning. 

Common functions of tilt shots are:

  1. Showing an object that extends above or below the frame (reveal)
  2. Introducing a location (up ► down)
  3. Evoking suspense by showing a subject from the feet to the head (down ► up)
  4. Concealing what is happening by tilting up to the sky (down ► up)
