This document discusses various camera techniques including the steadicam shot which allows for smooth movement, hand-held shots which allow for freedom of motion, zoom shots which alter lens focal length without camera movement, reverse zoom shots which create an unsettling effect, composition which is important for image quality, the rule of thirds compositional guideline, and the role of the focus puller in maintaining image sharpness.

1. Steadiecam Shot
It allows for a smooth shot, even when moving quickly over an uneven
surface. The Steadicam was invented by cameraman Garrett
Brown and was introduced in 1975.

2. Hand – Held Shot
Hand-held cameras are used because they are conveniently sized
for travel and because they allow greater freedom of motion
during filming.

3. Zoom Shot
A zoom is technically not a camera move as it does not require the camera
itself to move at all. Zooming means altering the focal length of the lens to
give the illusion of moving closer to or further away from the action

4. Reverse Zoom Shot
The reverse zoom is an unsettling in-camera effect that appears to
undermine normal visual perception. It is part of many cinematic
techniques, used in filmmaking and television production.

5. Composition Framing
The way that you shoot it is crucial, too. Poor photo composition can
make a fantastic subject dull, but a well-set scene can create a
wonderful image from the most ordinary of situations.

6. Rule of thirds
The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into
nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-
spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should
be placed along these lines or their intersections.

7. Focus Puller
A focus puller, or 1st assistant camera, is a member of a film crew’s camera
department whose primary responsibility is to maintain
image sharpness on whatever subject or action is being filmed.
