CAMERA SHOTS / ANGLES / MOVEMENTSDefinition
● Camera Shot: amount of space that is
seen in one shot or frame
● Camera Angle: how the cameras are
positioned
● Camera Movement: the movement of
the camera (on the axis)
PAN● Moving a stationary camera on the X-
Axis
(Rotating the Camera Left and Right)
● Establishing a sense of location
● Add action, a tense scene
TILT● Moving camera on the Y-Axis
(Tilting the Camera Up and Down)
● Flashback
● Introducing a subject (feet to head)
TRUCKING● Moving the whole camera on the
X-Axis (Think of a truck moving
along the road)
● Following a movement side by side
● Scenery of outside from a moving
vehicle
PEDESTRAL● Moving the whole camera on the
Y-Axis (Like raising the tripod
head up and down instead of
tilting the camera)
● Looking out from a glass elevator
DOLLY● Moving the whole camera on the Z-Axis
(backward and forward)
● Make sure the camera is stable on a surface
with wheels for smooth look
● Establishing shot
● Relativity of subject and background
changes constantly
ZOOM● Camera doesn’t move, only the
lens zooms in/out
● Camera is fixed at a location
● Investigating / invokes curiosity
● Relativity of subject and
background stays the same
DOLLY VS ZOOMDolly = Whole camera moves
Zoom = Only the lens zooms in

● Blurry focus -> Crisp focus
● Helps audience to focus on specific spot in the
scene (useful if there are a lot going on)
FOLLOW / TRACKING SHOT● Subject is pursued by a camera
● Shows subject’s perspective
● Chasing scene: Children of Men -
used steadycam
