Moving image techniques
Panning - When you move your camera horizontally either left or right while its base is at a singular point, good for showing of a location
Tilt - Similar to panning however instead of horizontally its vertical
Zoom - Get closer to whatever you’re filming, a very useful and well known camera technique
Tracking - Tracking is following a moving object, for example a video of a car
Dolly - Moving the camera in and out on a moving track
Pull Focus - When the camera changes focus from one thing to something else in the scene. Could be used to establish something a character is looking at in the background for example
Long shot - Shot from far away
Medium Shot - Shows near enough a persons full body, used to show multiple characters or show body language
Close Up - Very close to the subject, could be used for conversation
Point of View - Filmed as if it was viewed from someones eyes, used for first person perspective
Birds Eye - Taken from very high, normally shot using a drone or helicopter
A tri-pod, slider or gimbal can be used to steady footage
