Ways of filming/ techniques (part 2 ) Crane shots ,Cranes are used to achieve vertical translational motion. Whenever you see the camera moving up or down by more than a few feet in a film, it was done with a jib or crane. To be able to produce a crane shot it is very expensive. My personal opinion is that you should focus your budget and your energy on shooting really good tracking shots, as they are needed much more frequently than crane shots and don’t cost as much to execute.

Tracking movement : horizontal movement , Setting up tracking shots is more complicated than setting up tilt or panning shots, this can therefore make it harder or longer to film and this can sometimes put people off. Tracking shots enable what is usually the speaker to be followed and this give the perspective of another person with them if it was a convocation or making you part of the action. Track-in shots , Track in shots are where the camera moves towards the object and this is generally done by having another object in the picture so that there is a greater level of perspective. The other object in the picture is usually know as the secondary object and in most cases it would be in the foreground. The significance of this foreground object is that, since it is closer to the camera than the main subject, it increases in size faster than the main subject as the camera moves in.
