Slow motion can be used in films to emphasize important moments and allow the audience to take in details. Panning and tilting involve rotating the camera horizontally or vertically to follow a moving subject or show more than a single shot can capture. Dolly and tracking shots involve smoothly moving the camera parallel or perpendicular to the lens axis to follow a subject. Zooming in focuses the audience on a specific part of a scene, while zooming out provides more context by showing the location. These camera techniques could be used in the film to follow characters and draw attention to important details.

2. Slow motion
Slow motion is often used within
films, mainly to emphasis something to the
audience, such as to demonstrate a skill in
sport or key moment in the film, and to make
the audience take it in, such as when filming
natural phenomena, and can also be used to
show flashbacks or flash forwards as they
encourage the audience that they are
watching something important, as it is slowed
down so they can take in the detail and think.
we could use this in our film, perhaps when
the little girl is behind olly, as in reality when
something dramatic happens, it either
happens so quickly you do not notice, or very

3. Panning & tilting
These are done through keeping the
camera stationary and then rotating it
either horizontally (panning) or vertically
(tilting). Panning is often used to follow the
moving subject, or to show more than just
a single shot can. Tilting can be used to
emphasise the size of something which
cannot fit within a single frame.
These can be used for instance when olly
runs away from the little girl to follow
him, or in an establishing shot where we

4. Dolly and tracking shots
using a small wheeled vehicle (dolly), is
often used in order to smoothly follow the
attention. It can move in and out of a
scene, and helps to follow a subject. The
camera’s movement is parallel to axis on
the camera lens, whilst tracking is where it
is perpendicular to the camera lens axis.
this may be more difficult to use in our film,
as we do not have a dolly. However, if we
did, it would be useful in olly’s running

5. Zooming in and out
This is where the camera moves in and
out from the subject, and can be done
without moving the camera. Zooming in is
often used to create the audience focus on
something specific, for instance from a
long shot and then zooming into the
subject, whilst zooming out often helps to
put something in the bigger picture, or
show the location.
this could be used to put focus on olly to
draw our audience into the fact that he is
