DIFFERENT TYPES

Within filming there are a variety of different

camera movements, these could include

panning, tilting, tracking shot etc.

TRACKING SHOT

A Tracking Shot is where the camera is

moved away or towards the subject. a tracking

shot can go backwards, left to right and right

to left. Using a tracking shot brings the viewer

closer and helps to draw the audience in to the

scene creating relationships with the

characters.

PAN SHOT

A Pan Shot is when the camera moves form one

side to the other. the pan shot is usually used to give

movement to a scene that otherwise would be static.

TILT SHOT

A Tilt Shot is when camera moves up or down

from one fixed point. it is usually used to help show

perspective or help to reveal something to the

audience slowly.

DOLLY

This is a specific piece of equipment which is

designed to make camera movements look smooth.

The camera is fixed to the dolly and the camera

operator will usually ride on it to control and operate

it.

WHIP PAN

A whip pan is a extremely fast movement in which

the camera is moved side to side, which briefly

causes the image to blur into a set of indistinct

horizontal streaks.
