VideoProduction for films and
television requires the cinematographer to set the
camera shots and decide what
type of camera angle and movement that is necessary for a scene. The following are some camera angle, composition, and movement techniques that are commonly used on videoProduction process:
- Dolly: the camcorder is mounted on some kind of a cart which moves along a track for a very smooth shoot. Also known as a trucking shot or tracking shot.
- Dolly Zoom: a type of movement in which the camcorder moves further or closer from the object while at the same time adjusting the zoom angle to maintain the object the same size within the frame.
- Follow: in this technique the camcorder physically follows the subject at constant distance.
- Pan: the camcorder makes horizontal movement, right and left.
- Pedestal: in this technique the camcorder must be moved vertically with respect to the subject.
- Track: it is almost synonymous yet rather roughly like the dolly shot, but often explained more specific as movement which remains a certain constant range from the occurring actions, especially the side-to-side movement.
- Truck: synonymous or other common name for dolly or tracking.
- Tilt: this technique involves moving the camcorder angle vertically, for example, pointing the camcorder up and down (Rather than moving the entire unit of camcorder up and down).
- Zoom: technically this is not recognized as camera move, but a change of the lens focus which gives the effect of moving the camcorder further away or closer.
