angle shot
Diagonal camera perspective
An angle shot is a photograph or film shot taken from a position other than straight-on—from above, below, or to the side.
In pool and billiards, an angle shot is one where the cue ball must strike the object ball at an angle to pocket it: That's a tough angle shot.
The term sometimes describes any approach that isn't direct.
