Camera Movement

Tracking
A tracking shot is when the camera is mounted on a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails while the picture is being taken


Crane
A crane shot is a shot taken by a camera on a crane. The most obvious uses are to view the actors from above or to move up and away from them.


Tilt
A shot in which the camera remains in place but rotates vertically on its axis so that the character is continually reframed.


Pan
A shot made while the camera swings on a tripod in a horizontal arc
