Camera Movements

 Pan

A pan is a very noticeable camera movement. It simply moves the camera from left to right, while having the camera on a fixed point. In this video, the son of the king monkey is attempting to speak with him while the bodyguard is listening in. The camera is first on the king's son, showing that he is speaking first. The camera quickly pans over to the king, showing that they are having a conversation. The camera pans to whoever is talking in the moment, allowing the viewer to follow the subject and understand the context of the scene.

Tilt

A tilt is a camera movement in which the camera simply rotates up and down. The camera is on a fixed point, just like the whip pan mentioned earlier. However, unlike the whip pan, the tilt goes up and down instead of left and right. The shot is typically used to reveal something or to set up an establishing shot, high up in the air. In this very short video it features the king monkey being introduced to the camera by a tilt, going down to up, and it shows him looking forward at us, showing his dominance.

Arc Shot

An arc shot is a simple camera movement, where the camera moves around the subject in an arc. It follows and focuses on the subject while the camera is moving. It is used to show the subject's surroundings all around them. This video shows the king monkey looking ahead to his followers after giving his speech. This shot allows the viewer to see his surroundings, which takes place in my room.
