Performing camera movements can make or break your movie. There are two basic types of camera movements: pan and tilt and tracking shot. Pan and tilt involves moving the camera around a scene while maintaining its position. A tracking shot usually covers short distances, and the dolly track is often necessary. Tilting involves moving the lens up and down, but it’s not technically a camera movement. This technique is most often used for creating tension by highlighting a specific point in the story.
Camera movements can be creative, dramatic, or dull. The most common kind occurs when an object moves within the frame. Reframing is a common use of camera movement to maintain composition balance. The process usually involves a slight tilt or pan. In film, zooming in can be used to focus on a specific area within the frame, such as a character’s face. However, it should be used sparingly and is often associated with a dolly shot.
Another type of movement uses the camera to move upwards or downwards in relation to its subject. The entire camera is moved upwards or down. Unlike the traditional tripod shot, this movement eliminates friction and jerking. In contrast, trucking requires moving the camera from left to right in a single fluid motion. A good fluid motion track is necessary when shooting a video. The more stable the track, the smoother the movement.
