Camera Movements
Pan - moving the camera lens to one side or another
Zoom - changing the focal length of the lens to make the subject appear closer or further away in the frame
Tilt - moving lens up or down, keeping camera in same place
Track - camera moves either left to right or forward and back while keeping the subject in the centre of the shot (circling the subject)
Hand Held - when action is too fast so camera has to be moved fast (creates blurry, faster, energy shot)
