Short camera
movement video.
Working in a
group we made a video showing different camera movements and uploaded it to you
tube, this included Panning shot, Zoom in, Track in, and Tilt. Here is a brief explanation
of what each of these terms mean:
Panning
Panning is ultimately
the action you do when you move your head from left to right or right to left. To
create a panning movement you need to move the camera lens from left to right
or right to left.
Zoom in/out
The process
of zooming is ultimately altering the focal length of the lens on a camera and
is widely and commonly used throughout video production, zooming in magnifies
the subject making them appear closer in the frame ( or giving a closer view)
and zooming out is the opposite altering the focal length to make the subject
appear further away in the frame ( or giving a wider view).
Track in / out
Tracking is
similar to zooming, however this movement does not involve altering the focal
length on the camera lens but instead the camera operator physically moves the
camera. Track in is when the camera person moves the camera towards the subject
(this can be walking while holding the camera, or having the camera on a rail mechanism
to provide a smoother movement). Track out is the same, but opposite. When the
camera person moves the camera away from the subject (this can be walking while
holding the camera, or having the camera on a rail mechanism to provide a
smoother movement)
Tilt
Tilting is ultimately
the action you do when nodding your head up and down. To create a camera tilt
movement you need to move the camera lens up and down while keeping its
horizontal axis the same.
Here is a video we
made showing some of these movements:
