Moving the Camera

Panning

A pan shot is when you rotate the camera along the horizontal axis to bring the viewer on another point in the scene.
There a few different types of panning shots including:
A Following Pan: Follows a character or object in the scene, such as a car driving down a road.
A Surveying Pan: Often used for a climax as the camera searches the scene for a point of interest. Often used in horror movies for shock value.

Tilting

The tilt is practically the same as the pan however instead of moving the camera left or right, you simple move it up or down.

Tracking, Crabbing and Trucking

Just to confuse matters, a dolly is also used for tracking/trucking, which has also acquired the nickname crabbing. It takes its name from the sideways walk of the crab.
Instead of moving in, like a crab, the camera follows the action by a sideways physical movement on the x axis. (use sliders or glide tracks for this type of camera movement)

Dolly shot

A dolly is a tripod attached to rails so that the camera operator can slide along and capture the action. It’s great for scenes that are following action.
A dolly shot can also create a physical zoom where the camera moves in (or out) rather than using the zoom on the lens. It creates a different look compared to a zoom, as you feel you are moving closer past objects.

Pedestal

A pedestal shot is another camera shot in which requires a physical movement of the camera. This time up and down. Rather than tilting upwards the camera physically moves. (use Jibs or cranes for this type of movement)
