Types of camera movements

After reviewing the types of shots and models for each type we deal with the types of movements of the camera.
The camera has 3 ways to move:
Rotate the camera with the cradle fastness (rotate up, down, right, and left).
Move the camera stand (forward, backward, right, left, up, and down).
Move the camera lens (zoom in or out).

First: Rotate the camera:

The vertical movement is called a tilt-up, often suggesting ambition.
Vertical motion is called top-down tilt-down.
Pan Left (Pan means panoramic animation).
Horizontal movement is called Pan Right.
This movement is usually used to connect two objects, to look at a metamorphic object such as a landscape, as a starting point for the beginning of a work, and sometimes to use a two-shot jump.

Second Move the camera holder:

Moving the camera holder through wheels for pregnant women or installing the camera on a cart or other, and this movement gives life and vitality of the scene, which shows the depth of the scene, and give the impression of the viewer moving in the scene.
Camera motion forward is called Dolly in.
The camera movement is called Dolly out.

Camera locations:

Interface mode: The camera in front of the person (or scene) is the most powerful and clear.
Put three quarters: between the side and the facade, and many of the directors preferred.
Side mode: The camera visualizes the person from the side.
Quarter Mode: Between Side and Back.
Rear mode: The camera behind the profile.

Types of angles of photography

First: Eye-Level Angle:

Is the most commonly used angle in television photography, where the camera angle is at the same level as the person.

Second: High Angle High Angle Shot

The camera is placed in a high angle, naturally raised, that does not distort the view of the place, and may be placed on a natural crane or high ground.
This angle is used to give the viewer a sense of the weakness of the person being filmed and insignificant, as this angle suggests monotony as it reduces the height of objects and slow motion.

Third: low angle Low Angle Shot:

The camera is placed at a low angle, so the viewer looks up, giving an indication of the importance and position of the person who can be placed in a dominant position.

Fourth: Canted Angle:

In this shot, the vertical axis of the camera is tilted. This shot usually takes place in scenes of violence, confusion, disaster, imbalance, loss of emotional balance, or despair and sugar.
