In a tracking shot, the camera moves in on the subject.
The camera actually moves forward, rather than just stay there and zoom in.
Camera is mounted on a camera dolly, which is a wheeled platform.
Physically moves along with or towards the subject.
Still image/photograph that is given action by zooming in or out of the subject(s). Or by panning horizontally, diagonally, vertically to the subject.
Can also be used a transition between clips.
The panning & zooming gives a sense of motion and keeps the audience interested.
Just as in a tilt shot, a horizontal panning shot basically just pans the camera. However, unlike a tilt shot, it is not panned up and down. In a panning shot, you can also pan the camera horizontally.
Typically used to give a panoramic effect and/or to follow a subject's movement.
Camera is swiveled around in a circle or half a circle, to get a full view of the scene.
Visually engaging for audience.
~shot taken from a plane, helicopter, or person on top of a building
~not necessarily a moving shot
~often used in action movies
~ camera is deliberately tilted or slanted to one side
~ lopsided
~ used to give dreamlike, frantic, or sometimes disoriented feel to a shot
~ nothing is right side up
In a MCU, the you don't get a whole impression of the subject(s), meaning that the whole body of the person or the full view of the object isn't shown but you can still get an impression nonetheless.
Subject(s) = tightly framed
You can't see much else in the scene besides the subject(s).
Used very often.
~guideline
~mentally split the shot into 9 squares, and always have the subject off-centered
~never have the entire subject in the center square because then it will look uninteresting and dull. This is following the Rule of Thirds
~the subject would be overlapping one of the points where the lines intersect
~balance in the shot can be achieved by having a secondary object/subject at the opposing intersection
~ camera is panned up an down, rather than left and right.
~ helps you pay more attention to the main person or object in the scene.
A close up that is EXTREMELY zoomed in.
Usually focuses on just one feature.
Shows lots of detail.
This is a shot in which the subject is in front of a reflective object, such as a mirror, yet the camera's reflection doesn't show up. This is made possible by angling the camera so that it won't be seen in the mirror.
This is a shot of someone or something that is taken from the perspective or camera angle from just behind the shoulder of another person.
OTS shots are very useful, because they give the audience a feeling of involvement, as if you are right there along with the actors/characters.
The person whose shoulder you are looking over in the shot is usually out of focus so you would pay more attention to other people or objects in the scene.
Helps you pay more attention to dialogue & facial expressions.
