Camera Moment Guide

👉🏻Pan
First up is the pan. A pan is when you move your camera from one side to the other. Panning generally is helpful to reveal a larger scene, like a crowd, or to reveal something off-screen.
Step your speed up a notch, and you get the whip pan, which is handy for transitions showing the passing of time or traveling a distance dramatically or comically. We cover this in more detail in our last episode, so if you want to learn how to execute a whip pan,

👉🏻Tilt
To tilt, imagine your camera is your head nodding up and down.
Tilts are helpful as a ‘reveal’ technique, either to unveil something from top to bottom or the reverse.

👉🏻Zoom
‘Zooming’ is probably the most commonly used camera movement; it lets you quickly move closer to the subject without physically moving. But be careful with these, as zooming lessens your image quality.
When you give zooming a go, keep the movement as smooth as possible.

👉🏻Tracking shot
A ‘tracking shot’ is one in which the camera moves alongside what it’s recording. Tracking shots are sometimes called dolly shots, but they can be differentiated by the direction they take.
Tracking shots will generally follow along the horizontal axis as the subject moves. You’re probably familiar with walking and talking scenes where a tracking shot stays on the subjects as they move.
Tracking shots are also helpful for showing a stretch of road or scenery.

👉🏻Following shot
The ‘following’ shot is a tracking shot in which the camera continuously follows the subject’s action.
If you want to achieve a smooth, seamless following shot, Steadicams and gimbals are your friends. Otherwise, shaky, handheld shots give a sense of realism or unease.
Long following shots, if executed well, are genuinely impressive and mesmerizing cinematic feats.

👉🏻Pedestal
Also known as a Boom up/down, our final shot is the pedestal. This involves moving the camera up or down relative to a subject. It’s different from the tilt that we looked at earlier, as the entire camera ascends or descends, rather than just the camera’s angle. A pedestal shot can be used to frame a tall or high subject (such as a building) while keeping the framing at eye level.
