    This document discusses different types of camera movements including pans, tilts, tracks/dollies, zooms, and arcs. For each type of movement, it provides a definition and potential reasons a filmmaker might use that technique. Some key points include: - A pan is a horizontal movement that keeps a subject in frame from a stationary point. It can be used to show vastness or for reaction shots. - A tilt is a vertical movement around a horizontal axis, for example to keep a subject in frame or suggest psychological changes. - A track/dolly involves moving the camera on a vehicle alongside a moving subject. It can capture movement or create instability. - A zoom does not physically move
