Welcome back! Today, I will talk about camera movements! These are different ways in which moments are recorded within the film so that they look professional, slick and correct.
TRACKING SHOT
A tracking shot is similar to a dolly shot. However, a tracking shot is a movement parallel to the action. It keeps a constant distance while the action is taking place.
DOLLY SHOT
A dolly shot is a camera movement in which uses tracks to move the camera quickly and smoothly. This camera movement is known as an in-and-out movement from the subject. Most dollies have a lever in which allows for vertical movement. Also, a crane can be added for added height.
DOLLY ZOOM SHOT
A dolly zoom is a technique in which the camera moves closer and further from its focus while adjusting the zoom angle to keep the focus the same size.
FOLLOW SHOT
The follow shot is self explanatory. It means that the camera follows the subject or action. The distance will stay the same throughout too. This movement can be achieved by a Steadicam, however hand-held follow-shots can be done too.
PAN
A pan is a horizontal movement in which the camera moves from left to right. The camera is in a fixed location on the tripod which creates a smooth pan.
TILT
A tilt is a vertical camera movements in which the camera points up or down from a tripod. tilting is less common as panning is more natural to human nature.
Next time: I will talk about certain rules used when recording! See you then!
