Panning: The movement of a camera in one swift movement to show information regarding to, quite often, location, people, or objects such as cars.
Tilt: A tilt is essentially the same as a panning shot, except the tilt goes up and down (horizontally). It is used to show what someone looks like, typically to scan the body of an attractive female. Occasionally a tilt is shown of an attractive man, but not quite as often.
Dolly Shot: The camera angle is put on wheels and moved smoothly along. It is often on a dolly track, showing the audience something outside the frame.
Steady Cam: The camera is balanced instead of being put on a track.
Camera Angles:
High Angle: Makes a character seem vulnerable and weaker.
Low Angle: Makes the character appear more powerful and stronger. Good for point of view shots and to keep on a child/pets eye level.
Counted Angled: This angle is not straight, and it will be on the diagonal.
