Camera movement

Motivated camera movement
-
The camera moves directly with the action being shown, for example if a character moves across the screen the camera tilts, pans, or physically moves by hand or on a dolly.


Unmotivated camera movement
-
When a camera move is imposing on the action rather than just following it, this is used for emphasis of any kind.

Zoom
-
This is when you magnify an element of the scene, the camera itself doesn't actually move during this movement, it is done with a lens. This type of zoom is usually slow, which builds drama, suspense and tension.

Crash zoom
-
This is the same as a normal zoom but is done a lot faster, this is used mostly to shock, reveal action suddenly or to just reveal something.

Pan / whip pan
-
When the camera moves on it's horizontal axis, left to right or right to left.
