    Pan- Moving the camera from left to right or tight to left.
    Zoom- Changes the focal length to the camera which changes the subject from appearing close or far away.
    Crane- Used to lift a camera
    Floating camera/stabilising shot- It uses counterweights to keep the cameras movements very still. Stabilisers are mostly for the small-businesses. These are much more affordable and widely used today.]]>     2016-11-24 15:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pIushiie/9oypmu8q1sof/wish/139783534     Continuity Editing pIushiie https://padlet.com/pIushiie/9oypmu8q1sof/wish/139783552 the cut, 180 degree rule, match on action, eye-line match, cut-away, shot-reverse-shot.]]> 2016-11-24 15:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pIushiie/9oypmu8q1sof/wish/139783552 Effects - Slow motion and Time Lapse pIushiie https://padlet.com/pIushiie/9oypmu8q1sof/wish/139783560 Slow motion is used to create tension and suspense, usually used for fast moments.

High angles make the object photographed seem smaller and less significant, the character becomes part of a wider picture.
    Eye Level- fairly neutral shot, camera is positioned at eye-level as though it is a human observing the scene so the actors heads are on level with the focus, camera will be placed approximately five to six feet from the ground.
    Low- these angles increase the height and give a sense of speeded motion, they also give a sense of confusion to the viewer of powerlessness with the action of the scene, tends to be a sky or ceiling, lack of detail about the setting adding to the disorientation of the viewer.
    Oblique/Canted-sometimes the camera is tilted to suggest imbalance, transition and instability, popular in horror movies, technique is used to suggest Point of View shots e.g.when the camera becomes the eyes.
