Movement

Pan

A horizontal camera movement in which the camera moves left and right about a central axis.

Tilt



A vertical camera movement in which the camera points up or down from a stationary location.

Track

Movement parallel to the action, or at least at a constant distance (e.g. the camera which travels alongside the race track in track & field events).
Dolly




A dolly is a cart which travels along tracks. The camera is mounted on the dolly and records the shot as it moves and the shot gets closer/further away from the subject.

Crane



A crane shot is like a dolly shot, but in the air; the camera can move up, down, left, right, swooping in on action or moving diagonally out of it

Zoom

Zooming means altering the focal length of the lens to give the illusion of moving closer to or further away from the action

Reverse Zoom


Where you alter the focal length of the lense to give the illusion of moving further away from the action
