Camera Angles - Movement in the Shot

I will now mention different types of camera movement.

• Panning - scans a scene horizontally through the use of a tripod to keep it stable.
• Tilting - scans a scene vertically throught the use of a tripod.
• Dolly Shots - when the camera moves alongside the action usually by following an object or character. These shots are often taken in whilt the camera is on a moving vehicle.
• Hand-held - used to make the audience feel like a part of the scene. Hand-held shots give a ragged effecty which is often used in horror films whilst someone is being chased.
• Crane Shots - these are essentially dolly shots from above.
• Zoom Lenses - used to change the magnification of a shot or image. For example, these can be used to capture a close up shot from a distance.
• Ariel Shot - usually taken from a helicopter to establish the scene.
