1. Camera Movement

2. Pan
• Panning is a camera movement technique that
involves moving the camera horizontally to
the right or left.
• With this technique you can track an object or
follow any type of movement. Be very careful
with jerky action though

3. Tilt
• The tilt shot is similar to the pan shot, but the
tilt shot moves vertically.

4. Track
• Tracking shots involve the use of dollies to
pull the camera around a scene. A tracking
shot can be done hand held, using a steady
cam, but they are more commonly shot with
dollies.

5. Dolly
• The camera is put onto a which moves along a
track smoothly.
• This is similar to a tracking shot.

6. Crane
• The Camera is put onto a crane which can
move upwards.

7. Steadicam
• Has the freedom of a hand held shot but it has
a stabilization device which smoothes out the
bumpiness of it being hand held.

8. Hand Held
• The camera is held by the camera operator
• However they are often bumpy and unsteady
shots.

9. Zoom
• A camera shot that changes smoothly from a
long shot to a close up.

10. Reverse
• A single shot which moves away from the
particular subject.

11. Camera Composition

12. Framing
• This is how the shot is composed and how the
subjects and objects are surrounded in the
shot.

13. Rule of thirds
• This is a compositional rule that suggest an
image should be divided into nine equal parts,
by two equally horizontal and vertical lines.
• At the intersections, important composition
elements should be placed along these lines
or their intersections.

14. Depth of field
• This refers to the distance between the
nearest and the furthest objects that give an
image judged to be in focus on a camera.
• Deep Focus – This is a technique that uses a
large depth of field
• Shallow Focus – This uses a small depth of
field.

15. Focus Pull
• This is where the focus is changed during a
shot.
• Usually adjusting focus from one subject to
another subject.
