Camera Movements!
This page outlines the standard types of camera movement in film and video. In the real world, many camera moves use a combination of these techniques simultaneously.
I have written these in Plain English so that they are easy to remember and understand! Aren't you lucky to have someone like me.. no? okay!
Here are the terms with some images of the equipment beside them.
A less-common term for tracking or trucking.
 | |
The camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks for a very smooth movement. Also known as a tracking shot or trucking shot.
 | |
A technique in which the camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame.
 | |
The camera physically follows the subject at a more or less constant distance.
 | |
Horizontal movement, left and right.
 | |
Moving the camera position vertically with respect to the subject.
 | |
Vertical movement of the camera angle, i.e. pointing the camera up and down (as opposed to moving the whole camera up and down).
 | |
Roughly synonymous with the dolly shot, but often defined more specifically as movement which stays a constant distance from the action, especially side-to-side movement.
| |
Another term for tracking or dollying.
| |
Technically this isn't a camera move, but a change in the lens focal length with gives the illusion of moving the camera closer or further away.
