Movements

Another way to give films variety is for the camera to move…..Here

are some camera movements

Tilting

Panning

Elevating

Tracking

Dollying

Zooming In/Out.

Panning

This is when the camera stays in the same position but turns left or right. This is to follow a subject or show the difference between two objects. These work well with panoramic shots and filming.

TrackingThis is when the camera change its position by moving left or right. The camera move along with eh action, generally following a moving figure or object. Tracking is good for portraying movement or the journey of a character.

DollyingThis is when the camera changes its position by moving it forwards or backwards, the camera is set on tracks or wheels. This is to follow an object smoothly to get a unique perspective in some movies directors combine the dolly and zoom effect for a real sense of doom. The shots convey a real sense of tension feeling of vertigo

TiltingThis is when the camera stays in the same position but turns up or down. Like panning this is used to follow a subject or show the top or bottom of a stationary object. With a tilt you can also see how high something is to emphasize its enormity or grandness.

ElevatingThis is when the camera changes its position by moving up or down. The camera is elevated above the action using a crane to give a general overview. It may also be done to reveal a sense of isolation, by emphasizing the height.

Zooming In/Out

Even when the camera is stationary it can appear to move closer or further from its subject buy using a special ring or lever on the lens. The zoom out is used to bring objects at a distance closer to the lens, or to show size and perspective.
