Camera Movement

Pans

A movement which scans a scene horizontally. The camera is placed on a tripod, which operates as a stationary axis point as the camera is turned, often to follow a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame.

Tilts

A movement which scans a scene vertically, otherwise similar to a pan.

Dolly shots

A movement that follows the action, the camera can be placed on a track or attached to a vehicle to follow an action.

Crane shots

Its like a dolly shot, but in the air. It can move up, down, left, right, swooping in on action or moving diagonally out of it, a sort of aerial shot.
