Movement

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.
