Excuse me, which way did the camera go?

Tricky thing all this terminology but when you're talking about just one element (the camera) moving around multiple axes, everyone needs to be speaking the same language.

  1. Dolly
  2. Pedestal
  3. Truck
  4. Pan
  5. Tilt
  6. Roll
There are further hows, whys and some guiding principles on the VideoMaker website.

There are loads of examples from film in this video. I think the terminology differs and there are combinations of camera and lens movements but it demonstrates a good variety including the possibilities of the "virtual" camera.
