Camera Movements

The many different types of Camera Movements are:

Tilt- Moving the camera’s lens up or down while keeping its horizontal axis constant.

Pan- Moving the camera lens to one side or another.

Zoom- Changing the focal length of the lens to make the subject appear closer or further away in the frame.

Pedestal-  Moving the camera up or down without changing its vertical or horizontal axis.

Dolly- This is a motion towards or motion from.

Truck- Trucking is like dollying, but it involves motion left or right.

Crane/Jib- "Steadicam" It uses a series of counterweights — and gyroscopes on more-expensive models — to keep a handheld camera’s motion very smooth.

Stabalized- A crane can be used to lift a camera (and operator, if it’s big enough) from low to high shooting positions.

Samples are listed below:
