Basic Camera Movements

Tracking Shot
Backwards or forwards. Tracking is used to draw the audience in and tracking out is used to show the audience that part is over.

Crab Shot
Left or right. Follows movement of a character or object. 

Tilt Shot
Upwards or downwards on an axis. An upwards tilt suggests great heigh or power.

Zoom
An alternative to a tracking shot.

Arc Shot
Full or semi circle around a character or object. This is often used to increase intensity

Crane Shot
Follows action in a vertical direction, from above.

Panning Shot
Left too right or vice versa. Used to follow a moving character or object.
