Pan:
|
Moving the camera’s line of sight in a horizontal plane to the right and left. A vertical pan means moving the camera from high to low or vice versa
|
Tracking shot: |
A shot where the camera is on wheels (a dolly, car, segway or train, etc). The movement is normally quite fluid and the tracking can be either fast or slow. Tracking shots can follow the focal point of a scene or a specific character.
|
(Dolly zoom): |
This is one of the more difficult effects to explain and achieve. The effect is created by zooming a zoom lens to adjust the angle of view while the camera moves towards or away from the subject in order to keep the subject the same size in the frame throughout. It's like pushing and pulling on the slide of a trombone at the same time!

Zoom:
|
Zooming either towards or away from an object or character. For example, moving from a distance shot through to a close-up shot without an edit (or vice versa).
|
Frantic Zoom:
|
Like a zoom but with a faster movement and more abrupt stop.
