Tilt is a cinematographic technique where the camera remains in a fixed position but rotates up or down along its vertical axis.

- A tilt-up shot moves the camera upward, often used to emphasize height, power, or reveal details gradually.
- A tilt-down shot moves the camera downward, creating a high-angle or bird’s-eye view, often used to make a subject appear smaller or more vulnerable.
- Tilting is commonly used in scene transitions, character reveals, and to guide the viewer’s focus within a frame.
- Unlike panning, which moves horizontally, tilting adds vertical movement to a shot, enhancing storytelling dynamics.
