Zooming is changing the focal length of the lens, to make the subject appear closer or further away from the frame. Zoom is the most known camera moves

and most often the overused camera move.

Pedestal is moving the camera up or down without changing either the vertical, or horizontal axis, so it is lifted up, or moved across without tilting the lens.

Dolly is using dolly tracks, moving the camera towards or away from a subject, while on the tracks, like a train on railroad tracks, whilst keeping the zoom the

same.

DOLLY

will be going.

HANDHELD

Crab is just a less known name for tracking or trucking.

CRAB

Track is similar to the dolly shot, but stays consistent, as it stays the same distance from the action and uses mainly the side-to-side movemnet.

Steadicam is a piece of equipment that allows you to be able to use the camera handheld, but keeping it still at the same time.
