Types of Camera Movement

Zoom in - Changing the focal length of a zoom lens during a shot.






Zoom out - Changing the focal length of a zoom lens during a shot.





Tilt - A vertical camera movement in which the camera points up or down from a stationary location.



Dutch Tilt - A dutch angle is a type of camera shot in which the camera angle is deliberately slanted to one side.


Hitchcock zoom - A cinematic technique in which the camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame.






Tracking Shot/Dolly shot - Moving a camera towards or away from a subject

Pan - Rotating a camera on a horizontal axis. This is a swivelling movement i.e mounted in a fixed location on a tripod or shoulder, rather than a dolly like movement in which the entire mounting system moves.




Swish pan - Where the camera pans so quickly that the resulting image is badly blurred.
