15. Weather Shot
The subject in this shot is the weather. It can also be used to back up text in films/trailers.
16.
17. Eye-Level
This is the most common view, being the real-world angle that we are all used to. It shows
subjects as we would expect to see them in real life.
18. High Angle
A high angle shows the subject from above. This has the effect of diminishing the subject,
making them appear less powerful or have less authority.
19. Low Angle
This shows the subject from below. This make the subject seem powerful and authoritive.
20. Bird’s Eye
The scene is shot from directly above. This
is an unnatural point of view which can be
sued for dramatic effect or for showing a
different spatial perspective.
24. Crabbing Shot
This is a less common version of tracking, trucking
and/or dollying. These terms are more or less
interchangeable, although dollying tends to mean
in-and-out movement whereas the others tend to
mean side-to-side movement at a constant
distance from the action.
25. Dolly Shot
A dolly is a cart which travels along tracks. The
camera is mounted on the dolly and records the
shot as it moves.
Dollying is often defined as moving closer to or
further away from the action.
27. Pan
This shot is a horizontal camera movement in
which the camera moves left and right about a
central axis.
28. Camera Tilt
This is a vertical camera movement in which
the camera points up or down from a
stationary location.
29. Tracking
This is a shot mounted on a cart which travels along
tracks. This is different than a dolly shot because
tracking is often more narrowly defined as
movement parallel to the action or at constant
distance.
30. Trucking Shot
This is basically the same as tracking or
dollying. It generally refers to side-to-side
camera movement with respect to the
action.
It is not used as often in comparison to
dollying or tracking.
31. Zoom Shot
Zooming means altering the focal length of the
lens to give the illusion of moving closer or
further away from the action.
This is technically not a camera movement shot
as the camera does not move.
