POV SHOTS

A Point of View shot (also known as POV) is a shot that shows what a character is looking at.

It can be from the perspective of a character in the film, it can also be as if the camera is placed inside the trunk of a car, or on some object, making the audience feel like they are spying in on events that they are not supposed to see ...

Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Rear Window' is almost entirely designed around POV shots from Jimmy Stewart's character.  'Jeff Jeffries'  is confined to a wheelchair with a broken leg, and watches the characters who occupy the apartments across the street.

DUTCH OR CANTED ANGLE

This type of camera angle can create a sense of disorientation.
