Camera movement: notes

  Camera movement: notes There are a range of key camera movements we need to learn: Pan: horizontal turn left or right Used to follow movement. A whip pan (very fast pan) can create a feeling of action or drama. Track/Dolly: Camera moves on tracks/wheels Tracks action smoothly – look for in chases or fast-moving sequences. Handheld: camera held by hand, often shaky Handheld camera can add urgency, realism, pace or unease to a scene. Zoom: focal length of lens changed to make subject appear closer or further away A zoom into a character’s face can show realisation or an emotional reaction. Crane: Camera attached to crane – can pan, track or ‘swoop’ in or out as required Crane shots are often high angle and show large, epic scenes of dramatic action.
