This document lists different types of camera movements including dolly/tracking shots which move the camera on wheels with the action, steadicam shots which provide a jerky feel using a handheld camera, zoom shots that zoom in or out to add drama or a dreamy feel, crane shots looking down from a high angle, pan shots that pivot around the action, and trombone shots that track in while zooming out to disorient the viewer.

1. Camera Movements
This PowerPoint will list the different
types of camera movements.

2. Dolly/Tracking shot
Camera on wheels, moves with the action.

3. Steadicam shot
A hand held camera following the action. It is
used to create a jerky feel to a scene. It is
especially useful for a POV shot.

4. Zoom shot
The camera lens zooms towards someone or
away from someone. If its done quickly it can
make the scene seem dramatic. However, if
done slowly it can make it seem dreamy.

5. Crane shot
The camera is stationed on a crane and looks
down on the action. The shot can move
dramatically from the ground level up to a birds
eye view or vice versa.

6. Pan shot
The camera pivots around the action.

7. Trombone Shot
Camera tracks in and zooms out at the same
time to disorientate the viewer.
