Camera movements

Hi guys!
Today on this autumnal night, I'm going to talk you through the main camera movements used in the media and how they convey emotion and give a sense of character to the subject of the shot.
Just like what I did with the camera shots, I'm going to list 10 camera movements that are commonly used.

No.1- A panning shot
This shot this basically showing the camera moving from side to side (or up to down) slowly without the cameraman/woman actually moving him/herself; or as my media teacher put it, it's like holding a pan and turning with it!

I find it easier to do videos of each type of movement, just saying! This shot represents the location and the busyness of the place. In terms of character, it's kind of like it's from someone else's perspective, which gives  the atmosphere of that you are in the room!

No.2-A tracking shot
This is when the camera is on tracks to make the shot smooth and this makes the camera only able to move up and down along the ground.

This represents the feeling of being part of the scene and also really establishes the type of situation with the characters on vehicles but the camera not being the same.

No.3-A tilt up
When the camera starts from a low angle then tilts up towards the subject.

This really establishes different levels in the modern day world, like showing these stairs from this angle; they look more daunting than they actually are. I think it can be used on a subject to establish it's great importance to the scene or even to an entire film.

No.4-A tilt down shot
The opposite of no.3- where the camera is at a high angle then tilts down to the subject.

This represents the idea of a person looking up at the sky then down to ground level. This conveys of maybe a person getting used to the surroundings or even the camera trying to get the viewer/audience used to the landscape of the film/TV show.

No.5-A Dolly shot
I love the name of this movement! I think it's called a 'dolly' as it's kind of like being on a trolley- when the camera is on wheels and gives the effect of bumping against the ground unlike tracking.

Here, it represents the attitude a location, in this case a town full of people. This, like a lot of these movements establish the surroundings.

No.6-A whip shot
Basically the same as a panning shot. The difference is here is that the camera moves abruptly from side to side.

This represents the sheen panic on the crowd over what's happening in the situation. I have seen this film and if you haven't yet, watch it now! It's freakishly scary!

No.7-A handheld/steadicam shot
These two are basically the same, the only difference is the equipment used to create them. With handheld, it's just generally a camcorder but with a steadicam, the camera is attached with straps to the cameraman, like a rucksack on their chest.

 I'm basically going to use the previous video too since it has technique. It's quite shaky to imply of a more amateur like film which creates the overall sense of panic.

No.8-A crab shot
Similar to a dolly shot except that it's at a very low level.

Sorry guys but Youtube has nothing on this type of shot. Well, i'm gonna just improvise! ;)
It represents a location but not in our time, in a kind of slow motion.

No.9-Zoom in
You've guessed it, it's just focusing towards the subject.

I love this video! C'est magnifique! (Yes, I'm taking French for A level.) This represents the idea of how everything surrounding us is so much larger than as us as individuals and that everything is connected.

No.10-Zoom out
Opposite of zoom in, focusing from the subject to their surroundings

This represents the same aspects of the previous one, that so much is around us.

Yawn, time for bed.
Goodnight world!
