Camera Work Techniques

            

Pan-the camera will remain static and move from left to right or right to left. This was actually a little hard because at first my hand were really shaky but I got one good video of my school's courtyard

Tilt- camera will remain static but move up and down. This was a lot of fun because I made my friend do a funny pose on the table.

Dolly Shot- involves the camera physically moving through a scene. The camera can move forwards, backwards or sideways. This one was kind of difficult because I needed to make the motion of the camera smooth which took multiple attempts. I used my mom as my subject.

Tracking- is similar to a dolly shot in that it follows a moving subject; it will just be attached to a physical track when doing so. I choose to follow the water polo ball. This was the most difficult because it was hard to walk sideways at the same speed as my mom walking and keep the camera steady.

Handheld- 

camera movement is often used to provide a documentary feel to a moving image text and can help aid the construction of realism. This was easy because I did not have to worry about whether or not the camera movement looked smooth

Zoom- is the process of bringing the audience closer to a subject by adjusting the camera lens rather than physically moving the camera. This was easy because I didn't need to move, I made my friend stand on a table again because it was really funny.

Reverse Zoom- a movement that zooms in while the camera person backs up. This adds dramatic effect and can be used to signify an immediate sense of shock and disbelief. 

This was surprisingly really easy, I got it in one take, and it was fun to film.

  Boom shot- The camera stays at the same angle but physically moves up and down. This was a pretty easy shot I stood on this vanity in front of my school cafeteria and filmed my friend, it only got slightly difficult at the end be cause of how far down I had to go.
