Tracking Shot

Tracking shot is a simple movement with the moving backwards and forwards. Tracking in draws the audience into the action. Tracking out shows that the action in the sequence is over. A side ways tracking shot is where the camera follows the person, in order to keep pace with the action. A good example of a tracking shot is when the contestants in The Hunger Games, are about to run to all the weapons. This is a side ways tracking shot to keep pace with what they are running too and what danger they are in.

Tilt

A simple movement of a camera going up or down on an axis. This creates a sense of height or power. This is shown when the contestants are stood on the starting block and the camera is concentrating on them.

Zoom

Can be used as an alternative way to use a tracking shot. This is the movement of the camera going to closer or further away to the character. Yet again when the contestants are on the starting block it zooms into the actresses face to show she is nervous.

Arc Shot

The camera either moves a semi circle or full circle around a character or characters. This increases intensity for good reactions for characteristics. This happens when the contestants are about to run into the middle and it does a semi circle around the main actresses face to show that she is nervous.

Crane Shot

A camera on a crane so the director can follow the action upwards or downwards. This lets you film high. This is happening when the little boy is hiding, this shows his vulnerability to all the other bigger contestants.

Pan

Where a camera is on a tripod and is moving left to right or right to left to follow a moving object. This is happening when the camera is following the contestants running into the middle to get a weapon.
