Camera Angles and Emotion



Crane Shot- A crane shot moves the audience into the story and gives them the feeling of falling into the story.

Handheld Shot- A handheld shot, when moving smoothy, conveys a dangerous or unsettling feeling. When the handheld shot is shaking, it conveys a feeling of stress.

Quick Pan- A quick pan shot changes the audience emotions and shows the the character needs to overcome something.

Quick Push In- It creates a feeling of emotional surprise or shock.

Dolly- camera is moving forward or backwards.

Slow Dolly In- creates tension, but also intimacy with the character whether in an uncomfortable way or a way of shared emotions.

Slow Dolly Out- creates a feeling of abandonment for the character, or a feeling of emotional loss which creates the feeling of empathy for the character from the audience.

Dolly Across- reveals something that changes the emotion within the scene.

Glidecam Shot- creates a ballet or dance feeling almost in a dreamlike manner.

Handheld Shot- forces emotion onto the viewer.

Glidecam 360 Reveal- captures the feeling of “the calm before the storm.”

Zolly- a combination of a Dolly and a Zoom which creates an overwhelming out of body experience.

Zoom- a shot using a lens whose focal length is adjusted during the shot. A zoom normally ends in a close-up, a zoom-back in a general shot.

Pan- movement of the camera from left to right or right to left around the imaginary vertical axis that runs through the camera.

Tilt- the camera tilts up or down, rotating around the axis that runs from left to right through the camera head. It makes the scene unique and gives a new feeling.
