Camera Movements (PT 2)

As talked about in my previous blog, I will be continuing on with the next 3 sets of Camera Movements! These 3 sets consist of Zoom, Track, and Dolly.

Zoom

When using zoom, a camera changes its focus length to enlarge an image. Zooming appears to move the subject closer to or farther away from the camera. A zoom lens, which has adjustable focal lengths, is used to take zoom images. The "zoom in" and "zoom out" camera zoom kinds are the most common. A dolly zoom can also be created by combining a zoom with a dolly shot. I'm sure we all use the zoom camera movement in our everyday lives on our phones for when we are taking pictures, you can zoom in and out on the phone's camera.

Track

Comparable to a dolly shot (on tracks or a vehicle), but with the camera remaining at a distance from the action. Any shot where the camera moves beside the subject being filmed while moving forward, backward, or side to side is a tracking shot. Shots as such can be used to capture the audience's interest, expose a place, add depth, or denote character development.

Pan

Panning is frequently used to take pictures of moving things, such as fast-moving cars or pedestrians. The picture above is an example of Panning being used to capture this motion picture of the car speeding. The camera pans across a level, horizontal surface as it goes from one side to another. Keep in mind that the camera isn't actually moving. It is frequently fixed to a tripod while being rotated left or right by the operator.
