camera movement

camera movement

These are examples of camera movements that will be used in programs and movies to capture a particular shot or viewpoint to create a reaction from the watcher.

These are different examples of some of the camera movements used in film:

Pan shot

This is an example of a pan shot it shows a full 360 shot of the setting.The camera horizontally so that it sweeps around the scene. It can also be tilted up or down in a vertical panning shot or in a diagonal pan, as when it follows an actor up a stairway.

Zoom shot

This here is an example of a zoom shot as it zooms in on the characters face from a distance to show his shocked expression.

Crane shot

This is an example of a crane shot to show an above ground level shot of the setting. A shot taken by a camera on a crane. The most obvious uses are to view the actors from above or to move up and away from them, a common way of ending a movie. Camera cranes go back to the dawn of movie-making, and were frequently used in silent films to enhance the epic nature of large sets and massive crowds.

Track/dolly shot

A tracking shot is any shot where the camera moves alongside the objects it is recording. In cinematography, the term refers to a shot in which the camera is mounted on a camera dolly that is then placed on rails – like a railroad track. The camera is then pushed along the track while the image is being filmed. This example represents the confusion and panic in the 
scene as i represents the whole setting.

Tilt shot

The camera moves up and down from a fixed axis to give a different dimension to the setting.
