Traditional Film Camera Techniques In film and video production the cinematographer sets the camera shots frames images and decides what camera movement is necessary for a scene. But more importantly the framing and what is in the frame at any given moment. Framing consists of the image within the rectangular image of the Motion Picture.

The Field of View (FOV) is the angle described by a cone with the vertex at the camera's position. It is determined by the camera's focal length, with the shorter the focal length the wider the FOV. For example, for a 35mm lens the FOV is 63 degrees (wide-angle), for a 50 mm lens it is 46 degrees (normal), and for a 135 mm lens it is 18 degrees (telephoto). A wide angle lens exaggerates depth while a telephoto lens minimizes depth differences.

Three Shot
32
Dutch angle, oblique angle, canted angle, are terms used for a cinematic tactic often used to portray the psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed. A Dutch angle is achieved by tilting the camera off to the side so that the shot is composed with the horizon at an angle to the bottom of the frame. The angle was widely used to depict madness, unrest, and disorientation in German Expressionism.
33
The 1949 film The Third Man makes extensive use of Dutch angle shots, to emphasize the main character's alienation in a foreign environment.
