- 15. Pan Panning is whenyou move your camera horizontally; either left to right or right to left, while its base is fixated on a certain point. You are not moving the position of the camera itself, just the direction it faces. These types of shots are great for establishing a sense of location within your story.
- 16. Zoom Without a doubt,zooming is the most used camera movement. It is often used as a clutch when the videographer is not sure what else to do to add interest to a shot. Use a quick zoom to add energy to a fast-paced piece. It involves changing the focal length of the lens to make the subject appear closer or further away in the frame.
- 17. Dolly A dolly iswhen you move the entire camera forwards and backwards, typically on some sort of track or motorized vehicle. This type of movement can create beautiful, flowing effects when done correctly.
- 18. Tilt Tilting is whenyou move the camera vertically, up to down or down to up, while its base is fixated to a certain point. Again, like panning, this move typically involves the use of a tripod where the camera is stationary but you move the angle it points to. These shots are popular when introducing a character, especially one of grandeur, in a movie.
