 CAMERA MOVEMENT

Camera movement is a filmmaking technique that causes a change in frame or

perspective through the movement of the camera. Camera movement allows
cinematographers and directors to shift the audience's view without cutting.
TYPES OF CAMERA
MOVEMENT
STATIC
A static shot has no camera movement at all. It is achieved by
locking a camera to a fixed-position typically with a tripod.
 ZOOM

Zooms change the focal length of

a camera lens to either zoom in
(magnify) or zoom out (de-magnify)
 PAN
Panning is a camera
movement where the
camera pivots left or
right on a horizontal axis
while its base remains in
a fixed location
 TILT

Camera tilts are just like

pans, only vertical. Tilt
camera movements
direct a camera upward
or downward.
 Dolly

Dollying is a type of tracking shot in

which the camera operator moves the
entire camera forward or backward along
a track.
 TRUCK

Trucking is a type of tracking shot in which

the entire camera moves left or right
along a track.
 DOLLY ZOOM

One of the more heavy-handed camera

movements is the dolly zoom. A dolly
zoom is achieved by dollying the
camera away from or toward a subject
while simultaneously zooming in the
other direction.
 ARC SHOT

The arc shot orbits the camera around

a subject in an arc pattern.
 PEDESTAL

A pedestal shot is a vertical camera

movement in which the entire camera
raises or lowers in relation to the subject.
A pedestal shot differs from a camera tilt
because the entire camera moves up or
down rather than just pivoting from a
fixed point.
 HANDHELD SHOT

A handheld shot is an unstabilized shot in

which the camera operator physically
holds the camera and moves it
throughout the filming location.
