Camera angles and
  movements.
All films have specially picked camera
movements or angles to create the best
     and right mood for the audience.
Tracking shot
 This is where the camera is usually mounted on a cart with wheels called
 a dolly which allows a smooth long shot to be filmed. It can be used to
 show parallel action to what is in the film like a running race, the dolly will
 go along with the runner and will always be filming him or her. Another
 popular way it is used is when following someone walking and the camera
 is focused on their feet, this lets the audience feel they are keeping up
 with the pace and the action.
Tracking can also be
used by someone holding
the camera in hand. They
can then track forward
which draws the watcher
in to the film and gives a
suspense feel to the mood.

Tracking backwards when the camera is pulling
away from the action usually suggests that the
film is going to cut to the next scene and draws
the audience out.
Tilt shot
 Tilt shot is usually filmed
 on a tripod and the is
 similar to a pan shot but
 the camera only moves
 vertically not horizontally.

 Tilt shots are often used
 to show vertical
 significance i.e.
 height or power.
Arc shot
This is a semi-circular
movement around and object or a
person. It increases the tension
as the camera is always moving
and your back turned on main
characters or objects.


There is a 180 degree rule in this shot and it is very
effective when there is a discussion at a table or a fight.
Crane shot
 This is a shot usually taken from above the actor
 or object on a crane or jib like a type of birds eye
 view. They are commonly used to end films.
 There are two types of crane shots one is rise
 up, where the camera starts on the subject and
 rises away vertically from it
 and the other is fall down
 where the camera moves
 vertically downward.
Panning shot
 A panning shot is a movement from
 left to right and is usually a point of
 view shot. The camera only moves
 horizontally.

 The effect is sometimes
 enhanced by adding other
 effects like zooming in or out
 on the subject. This puts
 emphasis on the subject.
