PAN Rotating a camera to the left or right in horizontal movement. (turning your head to left/right before cross a road) Purpose? To follow a subject or show the distance between two objects. Pan shots also work great for panoramic views such as a shot from a mountaintop to the valley below. 2 How to do? TILT Rotating a camera up or down in vertical movement. (like shake your head up/down Purpose? Like panning, to follow a subject or to show the top and bottom of a stationary object. With a tilt, you can also show how high something is. For example, a slow tilt up a Giant Sequoia tree shows its grandness and enormity. Here's a good tip. In general, when you tilt up and shoot an object or a person they look larger and thicker. The subject looks smaller and thinner when you tilt down. How to do? DOLLY Moving a camera closer or further from subject over time. Purpose? To follow an object smoothly to get a unique perspective. You can use wheelchair, because it has large wheels, rolls smoothly, and has a seat for a videographer, works quite well as a dolly, but you can also use a rolling cart or even a skateboard. 3 How to do? ZOOM Camera is not moving. But a change in the lens focal length will give the illusion of moving the camera closer or further away. Purpose? To bring objects at a distance closer to the lens, or to show size and perspective. Zooming the lens out gives you the wide-angle shot and more of your subject and surrounding areas are visible. How to do? DOLLY ZOOM Moving a camera closer or further from subject over time while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame. Purpose? The shot conveys a real sense of tension and feeling of vertigo. It's difficult to smoothly master this technique. 4 How to do? TRACKING/ TRUCKING Moving a camera from side to side to a subject. (like a walking crab) Purpose? Like dollying, to follow an object smoothly to get a unique perspective. How to do? ARC Moving the camera in circle around the subject. Purpose? To reveal new details about the background that the subject is standing in front of. Though a still object would be best for doing an arc shot or practicing it, using an arc shot is actually most effective when you're shooting a moving subjec 5 How to do? FOLLOW Physically following the subject at a more or less constant distance. Purpose? an interesting technique however additional equipment will be required to use follow focus. The follow focus device is a mechanical system which connects onto the lens and can control it. These follow focus devices often offer an adapter. These can be used for control over the focus of your video camera without touching it. While such devices aren't essential, they do make it easier to record certain types of videos without the risk of knocking the camera when focusing.
