Aerial example


This is often used at the beginning of a film this establishes the setting. The shot is taken from high up, most commonly taken in a helicopter.

Dolly example


Dolly is used to show progression moving forwards. It is usually on a track so the transition is smooth.

Handheld example


The handheld movement is used so the audience and viewer feel as if they are really there. It also makes the filming more realistic. As the equipment is light, it means there can be more movement made.

Steadicam example


The steadicam is used to show slow smooth progression during filming. It is very much gliding along with the action. Steadicams absorb shakes, jerks and bumps in the camera movement.

Crane example


A crane shot is used to show what's happening from a higher angle. Crane shots are usually long or extreme long shots. The audience have a sense that they are looking down on the action. 

Zoom in and out example

 This example is zoom out but zoom in would be the opposite. This is used normally at the beginning of a scene, or even a film, to introduce an object or character by focusing on it. 

Tilt Example


The camera points up or down from a stationary position. 

Track example

The tracking shot is used to follow subjects and objects that are significant in the frame. 

Pan Example


This is used in filming to show a location but also show the speed of an object.
