Camera Shots

Pan- means to pivot. Leave on tripod and move the camera round.

Crab- moves side ways (also know as a dolly)

Track- moving in and out.

Zoom out- Make the lens move further away from the object it is focusing on so you get more in the picture.

Pedestal (ped) Up- Moving the position of the camera to sit vertically about the subject.

Low Angle- looking up at a character or object, often used to install fear into the viewer.

Dolly- The camera is mounted on to a train which then travels along rails which gives off a very smooth movement.
