Camera movement

Tracking shot: back or forward, usually shot with a dolly or a tracking dolly for a smooth shot, tracking in draws in the audience’s attention, tracking out signifies the end of action.

Crab shot: follows the movement of a character.

Tilt shot: upwards or downwards on an axis. Tilting up is used by the director and makes the character looked heightened or powerful.

Zoom shot: into/away from character, it can stimulate a tracking shot.

Arc shot: full/semi-circle around and object, character or characters, you can see the reaction of a character and it increases intensity.

Crane shot: follow the action in a vertical direction.

Panning shot: on a tripod, left or right, used to follow movement, for example a character searching for something.
