Practicing a Dutch Tilt

These are my attempts at a dutch tilt:

This is just a normal straight shot of a candle:

This is the same object using the dutch tilt:

 Other objects I practiced the dutch tilt on:

The dutch tilts create a subtle sense of unease which is a good thing for a thriller film. They are a common technique used in Film Noir so it is important we have a good understanding of what it is and how to do it before we go and start filming. 

- Emily's look into the dutch tilt will help prepare us for filming, as this is a typical shot in film noir, the dutch tilt unsettles the viewer, which is something we are hoping to do in our title sequence as it is a thriller. I will also post a practice of the dutch shot, since we will all be filming, we should all have a go at this in case we decide to include it in our title sequence.
