I use this scene from Game of Thrones to teach students about the idea - there’s no dialogue for the first two minutes, but by the time someone speaks we already know everything we need to about the power dynamics at work in the room:https://youtu.be/fDFMXC8DoBk

Another game of thrones example is in this scene, especially with this shot here. https://youtu.be/tk5hKomP4MA pic.twitter.com/s7g2Dxffsc

I thank
@FilmCritHULK for their blog post about camera angles and what they're used for. It really helped me understand why I instinctively liked some scenes and didn't get along with others, eg the episode of Veronica Mars that was almost entirely Dutch angles.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
If you like Dutch angles, go and watch Slumdog Millionaire again (assuming you have already) - about half the movie is canted! Helps depict the density of the population, the way the characters lives are all somehow askew, etc.

In this case I really didn't like the Dutch angles. In interrogation scenes it worked but in the rest of the episode it really didn't.

a lot of times dutch angles are really dependent on the composition of how you feel the space. It's gotta less ornate and stilited, more organic.
