- 360-Degree Orbit
360-Degree OrbitA 360-degree orbit moves the camera through a complete circle around a subject, usually maintaining radius and aiming inward. - 360-Degree Shot
360-Degree ShotThis 360-degree-shot entry is the complete-orbit alias: a directed camera travels all the way around one subject, not a spherical recording. - 3D Rotation
3D RotationA virtual turntable-style camera inspects a fixed sculptural subject from successive sides in a controlled studio space. - Aerial
AerialAn aerial view observes broad geography from an elevated flying camera, keeping a stable spatial anchor as it travels. - Aerial Pullback
Aerial PullbackAn aerial pullback combines increasing altitude with retreat, shrinking an anchored subject inside an expanding landscape. - Aerial Push In
Aerial Push InAn aerial push advances and often descends from a geographic view toward one selected subject without replacing travel with a map zoom. - Arc
ArcAn arc carries the camera along part of a circle around a subject while continuously aiming toward it. - Arc Left
Arc LeftArc left begins traveling toward camera-left on a curved path while turning the head inward to retain its subject. - Arc Right
Arc RightArc right begins traveling toward camera-right along a partial circle, with the camera continually facing the central subject. - Arc Shot
Arc ShotArc shot is a partial-orbit family term; this longer sweep changes the viewing side without completing a full revolution. - Bolt Cam
Bolt CamThis named move drives the viewpoint rapidly toward a target and ends with an abrupt impact-like stop, with strong travel parallax. - Boom Shot
Boom ShotBoom shot names supported raising or lowering of the camera on an arm; this study booms upward to reveal seating beyond a stage edge. - Buckle Up
Buckle UpBuckle Up fixes the camera inside a moving vehicle's cabin, keeping interior occupants stable against a traveling view through the windows. - Camera Roll
Camera RollA camera roll rotates continuously around the optical axis, potentially passing through sideways and inverted orientations without orbiting the subject. - Camera Roll Clockwise
Camera Roll ClockwiseClockwise camera roll turns frame orientation clockwise around the optical axis while keeping the camera station and viewing axis fixed. - Car Chasing
Car ChasingA chase-vehicle viewpoint pursues another vehicle along a shared road axis, making the spacing between the two machines readable. - Car Grip
Car GripCar Grip fixes the camera to exterior vehicle bodywork, which remains a near anchor as road and surroundings pass. - Car Mount Side
Car Mount SideA side car mount fixes the viewpoint to a door or flank, retaining a body edge while wheels and roadside motion reveal travel. - Choreo
ChoreoA choreographed camera follows a rehearsed movement phrase whose accents and pauses are synchronized with the performer's actions. - Conveyor
ConveyorA conveyor-style move advances laterally at a constant rate past repeating units, emphasizing a process rather than accompanying a walker. - Crane Down
Crane DownCrane down lowers an elevated supported viewpoint toward human scale, with a planned head adjustment to retain the target. - Crane Over
Crane OverIn this Melies-aligned crane-over study, the camera rises, advances over an obstruction and pitches down to a near-overhead destination. - Crane Over The Head
Crane Over The HeadCrane over the head rises and advances above a person until the view approaches a direct downward plan of that person and floor. - Crane Shot
Crane ShotA crane shot transports the camera on a supported arm through a designed vertical and horizontal path rather than rotating from a tripod.
