The document discusses different types of camera movements used in films, including tracking shots which move with the action on wheels or tracks; Steadicam shots which follow movement in a handheld and smooth or jerky way; zoom shots which can dramatically zoom in or out or create a dreamy feel by zooming slowly; crane shots which look down on the action from above or in combination with other shots; trombone shots which zoom in or out while also tracking in or out; and pan shots which follow action from a pivot to show a character's perspective.

1. The different types of camera
movements in films.

2.  A tracking shot is when
the camera moves with
the action or subject,
usually on wheels on a
track. This is used a lot
and helps make the
scene look more
professional.

3.  The Steadicam is a hand
held piece of equipment
and follows the action,
it can either make the
scene have a jerky feel
to it or it could be
smooth, it normally
helps make the
audience think that they
are there.

4.  The zoom shot can
zoom in or out away
from the subject. If done
quickly, it can create a
dramatic feel and if it
zooms slowly, it can
make it feel dreamy.

5.  The crane shot can be
used for looking down
on the action or subject,
this can be used in
combination with other
camera shots. It can also
give a birds eye view of
the action.

6.  A trombone shot is
when the camera zooms
in or out whilst tracking
in or out.

7.  Pan shots are used to
follow the action from a
pivot such and can be
used as to show what a
character sees as an
example, this can be
used with other
movements as well
which can create
different effects.
