Learn about 20 different camera movements and how they each might impact your film. Camera movement is one of the most effective ways to enhance your film, by making it more visually appealing or Cinematic. Camera movements can be split into 5 different categories, based on how the Frame is manipulated to get the shot; No Movement (static), Altering Camera Angles (pan, tilt), Physically Moving the Camera (dolly, crane), Making in Camera Adjustments (focal pull, zoom) and Creative Combinations thereof.
