Move closer / farther
Retreat from a person into the station hall as subject scale and architectural perspective change together.
3 seconds
Move around
The camera travels around a car and person while tightening the frame; a fixed-radius orbit is insufficient.
3 seconds
Move around
Circle the figures in a hall, matching their relationship to the moving background.
3 seconds
Move with subject
The reference moves alongside a walking subject. Keep the subject’s screen position stable as the background slides past.
3 seconds
Move with subject
The camera retreats and reframes as a person advances through a kitchen; it depends on the performance.
3 seconds
Move with subject
Maintain a frontal walking two-shot; spacing and following distance both affect the result.
3 seconds
Rotate in place
The view turns from a living room to a doorway; compare the horizontal sweep and final hold.
3 seconds
Rotate in place
The night-market view returns to the stall after crossing the crowd; a single left pan does not reproduce it.
3 seconds
Rotate in place
The frame rises from shoes to face and roof; check the pivot and subject scale.
3 seconds
Rotate in place
The staircase and person change their framing relationship; check the actual tilt and depth.
3 seconds
Move vertically
The view rises from a person toward the roof; check the combination of translation and rotation.
3 seconds
Move vertically
Descend toward the audience as the depth relationship between crowd and distant stage changes.
3 seconds
Lens changes
The table composition gradually tightens onto the face; match zoom timing and face size.
3 seconds
Lens changes
A helmet close-up opens into the bedroom; distinguish a lens change from moving backward.
3 seconds
Lens changes
The frame tightens while a person reads; the title alone does not determine the timing.
3 seconds
Lens changes
A close view opens into a classroom; compare onset and final framing.
3 seconds
Move sideways
Track along vines, matching parallax between the near person and distant rows.
3 seconds
Move vertically
Lift the camera from boxing boots to face height, distinct from tilting at a fixed position.
3 seconds
Move vertically
The climber and rock face change their relationship during descent; check height, tilt and body movement.
3 seconds
Move sideways
The near tabletop shifts against a more stable distant person; preserve the depth layers.
3 seconds
Move sideways
Record bins slide aside to reveal a person; travel and foreground distance jointly determine the reveal.
3 seconds
Move closer / farther
Move past near bars toward a person, preserving the timing of the disappearing occlusion.
3 seconds
Move around
The person also turns their head; separate the camera arc from the performance.
3 seconds
Move around
Move around a dancer, matching arc extent and subject position within the frame.
3 seconds
Move with subject
Follow footsteps from a low position, retaining ground parallax and foot action.
3 seconds
Move with subject
Match a vehicle’s speed and lateral distance so its window stays stable within the frame.
3 seconds
Move closer / farther
Approach a moving vehicle from the air, combining subject motion and height changes.
3 seconds
Move closer / farther
Pull back from a summit figure to the mountain range, preserving foreground-to-distance scale.
3 seconds
Move sideways
Fly along a mountain road with different motion rates for near slopes and distant peaks.
3 seconds
Move closer / farther
Approach a person and a glass surface; verify transmission, reflection and the space beyond.
3 seconds
Static shot
Keep position, orientation and focal length fixed so the performance carries the shot.

Dolly vs. zoom, pan vs. tracking: what changes?
A dolly moves the camera through space, changing the relationship between foreground and background. A zoom changes focal length from a fixed position. A pan turns the camera from a fixed position; a tracking shot moves with the subject. Compare the same points in each short preview: the starting composition, the midpoint and the final reveal.
