Zoom Lenses
A zoom lens contains a mechanism that changes the magnification of an image. On a still camera, this means that the photographer can get a 'close up' shot while still being some distance from the subject. A video zoom lens can change the position of the audience, either very quickly (a smash zoom) or slowly, without moving the camera an inch, thus saving a lot of time and trouble. The drawbacks to zoom use include the fact that while a dolly shot involves a steady movement similar to the focusing change in the human eye, the zoom lens tends to be jerky (unless used very slowly) and to distort an image, making objects appear closer together than they really are. Zoom lenses are also drastically over-used by many directors (including those holding palmcorders), who try to give the impression of movement and excitement in a scene where it does not exist. Use with caution - and a tripod!

media type="custom" key="10436306" ZOOM OUT: Zooming out usually zooms away from a subject, revealing more land around them.

media type="custom" key="10485648" ZOOM IN: Zooming in allows the camera to view a subject or item from a distance, hence the name.

Tilt of the Camera
Used to show the depth of field, the camera will create the sensation that a person is looking in a vertical movement. Tilting the camera is similar to shaking your head in a yes fashion.

(Below) Animated GIF of how the camera "tilts" up and down while filming.

Panning the Camera
Horizontal movement or rotation of camera. Panning is similar to shaking your head in a no fashion. Tends to follow a character throughout their movement on screen.

**Visual effects of the camera Dolly:**
Many modern films, clips, and footage involve some form or motion of movement. Most often, these effects are used for a visual impact on the viewer of the footage for a feeling of motion and to follow any action and/or drama in the footage. Many film companies use the Dolly for movies, as it helps subject the viewer to be more entertained by a moving shot, more so than a simple shot of a scene without any movement. (Above) Dolly cameras are usually placed on rails or paths to avoid damage to the actual cart carrying the camera. When there is undesirable weather, Dolly carts are usually covered by umbrellas to keep water from affecting the film or camera lens.

=**Tracking Shot**=

Like most films in the modern society, there are scenes usually showing a vehicle or person running or driving on a road/sidewalk. When in a car, it is usually tough to keep up with the car's speed, so the tracking shot is used. The tracking shot usually has seven speeds.


 * //Tracking speeds://**

The Casual Stroll: Camera moves at approx. 2 miles per hour. The Average Walk: The Camera films while moving at 3 miles per hour. Brisk Walk: Camera speed of 4 miles per hour. Average Jog: The film is moving at 6 miles per hour. Average Run: Camera is tracking at 8 miles per hour. All-out-sprint: Film is moving at 12 miles per hour. Car: The camera is recording at 30 miles per hour.
