Tilt

My interpretation of the Tilting Technique is when a scene is shot with the camera moving along its vertical axis, i.e up and down.

I believe this technique was used in this scene to immediately create a contrast between the darkness in the previous scene and the bright warm atmosphere associated with this scene (the audiences attention is drew to the environment), and also the contrast between nature (scenery) and technology (car). The tilt slowly introduces the main cast as they drive and eventually exit their car, the slow paced nature of this effect is an effective measure to introduce these characters as it build up the audiences anticipation. This results in an almost happy atmosphere as the scene is initially shot from a clear blue sky on a seemingly warm, bright day and slowly builds up anticipation amongst the viewers to introduce characters as it patiently crawls vertically down.
