Dolly shot- Sometimes called TRUCKING or TRACKING shots. The camera is placed on a moving vehicle and moves alongside the action, generally following a moving figure or object. Complicated dolly shots will involve a track being laid on set for the camera to follow, hence the name. |
Crane Shot- Basically, dolly-shots-in-the-air. A crane (or jib), is a large, heavy piece of equipment, but is a useful way of moving a camera - it can move up, down, left, right, swooping in on action or moving diagonally out of it. The camera operator and camera are counter-balanced by a heavy weight, and trust their safety to a skilled crane/jib operator. |
Tilt shot- Similar to pan but moves vertically. Tilt shots are often used to show the vertical significance of something For example, imagine being at the bottom of a building and then tilting the camera upwards to capture the entire building structure (which obviously can’t fit in one frame). |
Pan Shot- A movement which scans a scene horizontally. The camera is placed on a tripod, which operates as a stationary axis point as the camera is turned, often to follow a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame Pan shot video- Reverse Zoom- When the camera zooms out of an object/figure. Makes them seem less significant. Dolly Zoom or zoom shot- an unsettling in-camera effect that appears to undermine normal visual perception. Usually used to make things appear more dramatic. Reverse Zoom- When the camera zooms out of an object/figure. Makes them seem less significant. |
