Camera Work Techniques

This video is a sample of 8 camera techniques. We start off with the pan shot and tilt shot, these shots were particularly easy as all I had to do was move the camera left and right and tilt it up and down. We then move to the dolly shot, this shot was harder than I expected because typically the camera moves on a still platform which I did not have so I had to hold the camera as still as possible. Next is the tracking shot, this shot was easy as all I had to do was record and follow a moving object. The handheld shot was simple because I just took a normal video with my hands and moved the camera around a lot. The zoom and reverse zoom were simple as well because I had to use my phone to zoom in and out for the shots. Lastly, the boom shot was harder to achieve because it is like a tilt but also looking down so I had to find a good angle and the stairs was perfect for this shot.
