Camera Movement

Pan Shot - This shot is used to see whats around the setting



 Tilt - a tilt shot  is used to see the object that is focused in the camera from top to bottom

 Aerial Shot -This is used to see large landscapes, it would be shot from a high point in the air (helicopter)



 Zoom In - a zoom in shot is used to focus the audiences attention on the object it also lets us see clearly the facial expressions on the characters or what a certain object someone maybe holding


 Whip Pan - A whip pan shot is used to make the audience seem like the characters and in the same place when there actually in completely different settings. It also adds a feeling of suspense because of the quickness of the shot as the audience don't know what there going to see next.



 Tracking Shot - this kind of shot can be used in many ways, it can be used to explore the environment in the film, it is used to give a detailed tour of the situation that may be going on and it can also be used to follow the characters for example in this clip we follow the character around the room so we can see what's around him whilst still following him.



 -  Crane Shot - This shot is filmed from a crane it is used to show the actors from above or to move away from them, it is commonly used at the end of films this may be because as its moving away its given us the impression that the story has ended.


   Pull Focus - This shot is used to change the focus during a shot. In this clip the camera is focused on the man and then gradually starts to focus of the object he is holding, this is used so that we can clearly see what the character is holding in full detail.


   Zoom Out - This shot is used to make the audience feel like there leaving the scene and moving on to the next one. This shot doesnt require the camera to move it only needs to alter the length of the lens.



 Handheld Shot - This shot is not on any tripod or  any stable object it is simply held by the camera man this makes the audience feel like there in the scene, it adds a sense of realness to it.


   Dolly Shot - This shot is similar to the tracking shot but it also moves in and out (closer/further away from the subject). A dolly shot is very natural but it can create suspense which is why it is good.


   Steadicam Shot - This make the shot smooth especially when going over an uneven surface or moving quickly
