Panning shot- The camera movement is limited to spinning around its axis

Tracking shot- When the device is attacked to a track alowing is to film fast moving actions.

Tilt up shot- When the camera is tilted at an upright angle.

Tilt down shot- Opposing to the tilt up shot, the camera is aimed down.

Dolly shot- Wheels are attached to the camera and is able to move in all directions, often used on smooth surfaces.

Zoom in shot- When the focus of the camera lense moves closer to the target object.

Zoom out shot- The movement moving further apart from the object.

Handheld/ Steadicam- In event where the camera man is weilding the camera, supported by a steadicam device.
