Camera Movements


The Zoom 
When you go for a zoom, you’re not really moving the camera, instead you move the lens. 
By zooming out you create a wide shot and zoom in gives you a close-up.

The Pan 
When the camera is on a tripod you move the camera from left to right or right to left. You can also pan with the camera held firmly in your hands.

The Tilt
This is simpler to the Pan, but instead of moving the camera left to rights its move from up to down or down to up.

The Crab
Like with a Pan, but you walk with the camera left to right or right to left.
Do the Zoidberg.

Tracking
The tracking shot is when the camera is move. Be it to follow or move away from the subject. Tracking back can be used as establishing shot.

Hand-held
Just as the name suggest, this when the camera being held or supported by a harness on the cameraperson. Hand-held can be used to create a bouncy or jerky shot or create tension in a chase scene.
