Camera Movements

Camera movement is an important part of film making; as it makes in interesting and enjoyable to the viewers. There are particular types of these movements that are used most commonly, yet are effective and a major part of making a good piece of video or film.

• Zoom In 
• Zoom Out
• Tilt
• Dutch Tilt
• Hitchcock Zoom
• Dolly Shot (Tracking or Trucking)
• Pan
• Swish Pan

I found a specific video which I'll link here, which I found somewhat useful when hearing about camera movements for the first time, so to speak.

Camera Movements in Use

After watching this video; I'm now going to link a specific movie scene to each of the camera movement types; giving a somewhat clearer idea of wha each of these camera movements play out like, and also what genres they work best in.

ZOOM IN

Jaws has this specific scene, which used a simple zoom in, yet for the year this movie was produced; it is very effective and along with the sound and what is occurring in this specific moment of the movie.

ZOOM OUT

Contact includes a very effective scene, which I rather like. This specific scene has a zoom out, though it could somewhat be a tracking scene, in other ways. It makes this specific scene very effective and definitely dramatic at the same time.
