Movement and angles

Tracker

Crane

A crane shot is used to show different height difference and is mainly used in an establishing shot or the final shot in a movie. Also shows the surroundings and environment.

Tilt

Camera angle that looks up or down at the object being photographed, instead of being on the same level. Tilt shots are usually more dramatic than straight-angle shots. It can be used to show power by looking up at someone, oppositely it can be used to show someone with no authority by looking down at them.

Pan

Panning is the horizontal or vertical movement of the camera to show. Panning is used to follow the action in the scene or can also be uswed to show the surroundings (establishing shot).
