Camera Movement

I have started to learn about different camera movements and the effect they create with in a scene. There are varies types of camera movements such as panning, a crab movement which can be to the left or to the right, there's tracking in and out as well as tilting up and down.
A pan shot refers to the movement where the camera follows at the same pace as the moving actor or object, this can be done in a swivel motion. It helps the audience to feel a if they are moving with the character.
A crab shot is where the camera moves left or right to reveal more of the scene.
A Tracking shot is where the camera is moved smoothly away or towards the subject, it bring the viewer closer and draws them in to the scene and relationship between characters.
A tilt shot is where the camera moves up or down from a fixed point, it help show perspective or help reveal something slowly.
Here are some examples.

Tracking Shot 


Next we will begin to film are own short scene and try out some camera shots and movement.
