Camera Movements

Pan: horizontal movement of the camera from a static position

Tracking: camera moves on tracks to follow a subject. This effect can also be created using a dolly (a platform on wheels)

Tilt: a subtle movement on the vertical (up and down)

Crab: movement from side to side

Crane: camera is attached on to a crane so it can move dramatically up and down or from side to side

Handheld: a shaky movement. Follows the movement of the camera operator. Creates panic/realism/hectic/urgent and sudden movement
