Steadicam

A type of camera stabilizer mount for motion picture cameras that mechanically isolates it from the operator's movement. It allows for a smooth shot, even when moving quickly over an uneven surface.

Zoom

Zooming is one camera move that most people are probably familiar with. It involves changing the focal length of the lens to make the subject appear closer or further away in the frame. Zooming is one of the most frequently-used camera moves and one of the most overused. Use it carefully!!

Reverse Zoom

The same as the Zoom but in reverse. the shot is originally zoomed in and gradually zooms out.

Pedestal

Moving the camera up or down without changing its vertical or horizontal axis. A camera operator can do two types of pedestals: pedestal up means "move the camera up;" pedestal down means "move the camera down." You are not tilting the lens up, rather you are moving the entire camera up.
