    /wiki/Tiltwork

    A camera move, in which the camera stays still, but looks up or down. Nod your head.

    Go on.

    You just did a tilt.

    A tilt along the horizontal axis of the camera (as nodding your head) is, in some contexts, called "pitch".

    Moving the camera side to side (shaking your head) is a Pan.

    A tilt along the axis of the lens (as is used to produce the Dutch Angle) is called "roll". Featured in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and likewise parodied in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie.

    Not to be confused with the Pinball Gag.
