Camera shots/movements

Types of Camera Movements:

· Panning: Describes the location or follows the action. It gets a much more wider shot of the scene 

·  Tilting: Describes a person in relation to the place they are in. It also can be used to reveal a location in stages to build suspense or shock.

·  Travelling: Can create a first person perspective, put the audience in the eyes of the character

·  Dollying in and out: Depends on speed, dollying in to a still object can be quite unsettling if at speed and it emphasises the importance of the object, dollying builds up tension, and can make the place feel claustrophobic.

·  Dollying/Tracking/Crabbing along side: Builds up anticipation if you are dollying along with a moving object, describes the place but it makes you feel like you are on a journey, to arrive to the next scene

·  Oblique: Sometimes the camera is tilted to suggest imbalance, transition and instability  This technique is used to suggest point of view shots.
