History Main / DutchAngle

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'': Used near the end when [[spoiler: Mr. Waternoose is chasing Sulley and Boo down the hallway.]]

** Curiously, there's a few in ''Film/MissionImpossibleDeadReckoningPartOne'' that seem to pay homage to the first film, coincidentally with [[TheBusCameBack Kittridge's return]].

This was a particularly popular technique in the 1990s, where (especially in advertising) it was essentially the 20th-century counterpart to JitterCam.

* On ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', most shots of Deep 13 are done with the camera tilted, though from a high angle. Justified by the fact that the Deep 13 shots we see are from an actual camera they use to communicate, which is likely at that angle.

** As noted above, "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E15LetThatBeYourLastBattlefield Let That Be Your Last Battlefield]]" features several of these, partly in homage to Gorshin's casting as the episode's villain, but also as part of a general visual theme of bizarre camera tricks throughout the episode, including extreme close-ups (used during the self-destruct sequence) and double-exposures (used during the climactic chase sequence).

** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S1E1WhereIsEverybody Where Is Everybody?]]", they are used throughout the sequence in which Mike Ferris flees in terror from the movie theater into the town square.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E9PerchanceToDream Perchance to Dream]]", the carnival DreamSequence features them prominently.
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E14ThirdFromTheSun Third from the Sun]]" makes extensive use of Dutch angles.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E17TheFever The Fever]]", one is used for a shot of Franklin Gibbs at the slot machine after he's become obsessed and screamed at his wife Flora to leave him alone.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E22TheMonstersAreDueOnMapleStreet The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street]]", there are multiple such shots in the final scene when the residents of Maple Street go berserk and start rioting.
** They are used throughout "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS2E41TheHowlingMan The Howling Man]]".
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E70AGameOfPool A Game of Pool]]", two are used during tense moments in the pool game.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E74DeathsHeadRevisited Deaths-Head Revisited]]", numerous Dutch angle shots are used during Gunter Lütze's trial at Dachau.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E91LittleGirlLost Little Girl Lost]]", they are used throughout the sequence set in the other dimension.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E98TheDummy The Dummy]]", they are used extensively after Jerry Etherson starts hearing Willie and seeing his shadow while leaving the theater.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E107Mute Mute]]", several such shots are used when Miss Frank tries to force Ilse Nielsen into saying her name in front of her class for the first time.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E108DeathShip Death Ship]]", one is used to represent the E-89 being thrown off-course by Lt. Mike Carter's attempt to prevent Captain Paul Ross from landing the ship again.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E113TheParallel The Parallel]]", several are used to represent Gaines' disorientiation upon hearing radio signals immediately before he is sent back to his own universe.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E116OfLateIThinkOfCliffordville Of Late I Think of Cliffordville]]", multiple Dutch angles are used during the sequence in which William J. Feathersmith unsuccessfully tries to convince the people of Cliffordville, Indiana to invest in his ideas for new inventions in 1910, all of which are commonly available in 1963.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E121InPraiseOfPip In Praise of Pip]]", multiple Dutch angles are used during both the GoodTimesMontage of Max and Pip Phillips in the amusement park and their subsequent confrontation in the HallOfMirrors.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E140FromAgnesWithLove From Agnes - With Love]]", one is used in the opening scene in which James Elwood and his supervisor find Fred Danziger frantically arguing with Agnes.
* Tn "The Sink Hole" episode of ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'' it has a rather unusual purpose of being used to simulate the lean on the lodge.

** In "The Shadow Man", several are used when Eric confronts Danny Hayes in [=MacGyver=] Park and [[spoiler:when the Shadow Man attacks Danny shortly afterwards]].
** In "A Day in Beaumont", one is used whenever Dr. Kevin Carlson and Faith discover that someone is an InsectoidAlien wearing a HumanDisguise.

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' used this to great effect in the climactic and incredibly tense negotiation scene in season 5's "Coda".

* There's a ton of them in ''[[Film/MissionImpossible1996 Mission: Impossible]]'' (the first film). The angle goes ''even more'' Dutch when Ethan Hunt meets Kittridge in the restaurant, underscoring Ethan's feeling that whole world has just gone askew.

* Used in Creator/AlfredHitchcock's ''Film/{{Marnie}}'' after she is startled by a branch crashing through the window during a thunderstorm.
* In the first ''Film/MissionImpossible'' film, the angle goes ''very'' Dutch when Ethan Hunt meets Kittridge in the restaurant, underscoring Ethan's feeling that whole world has just gone askew.

-->-- '''Creator/RogerEbert''''s review of ''Film/BattlefieldEarth''

* Used in ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', occasionally.

** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'': "Fighting Spirit" uses several of these at the start of Tommy's AdventuresInComaland sequence.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]", this is used when Twilight Sparkle enters Rarity's boutique, probably to accentuate the over-the-top nature of her friend's {{freakout}}. They become used more frequently in the third and fourth seasons. This also happens in ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' with the Dazzlings, to show just how "[[UncannyValley off]]" they are.

* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', when Antimony uses [[GreenLanternRing the Blinker Stone]] to see distant things, [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=514 her Blinker-vision]] combines odd angles and FishEyeLens perspective.
