Panning - When a camera is moved from side to side, this is known as panning. Here the lens scans the scene to provide the viewer with elements of the scene that cannot be included in a wide angled shot. A pan can also include information as needed. It can follow a moving object. Panning should be smooth. Adjusting the tension and drag on your tripod head will insure smooth pans and tilts.
Tilt- The movement of the camera head up or down is known as titlting. Tilting the camera up can show height. Tilting it down can show depth. It can also show relationships. For example, the tilt of the camera from a man standing on a rocky ledge with a coiled rope on his shoulder to a man standing alone at the base of the cliff presents the situation. Tilts can also generate emotional responses. Tilting upward can cause feelings of rising interest, expectation, hope or anticipation. Tilting downward can lower interest and create feelings of dissapointment or sadness.
Tracking Shot- A shot in which the camera is pushed horizontally along the ground on a dolly.
Dolly- Refers to a type of shot achieved when a camera is mounted on a cart pushed along a track.
Crane- A shot in which the camera rises above the ground on a mobile support.
