Pan- refers to the rotation of a camera horizontally (left and right) when it is on a vertical axis (a stand)
Tilt- refers to the rotation of a camera vertically (up and down)
Tracking shot/ Dolly shot- a shot in which the camera is mounted on a camera dolly, a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails while the picture is being taken; in this case the shot is also known as a dolly shot or trucking shot. The term may also refer to any shot in which the camera follows a subject within the frame, such as a moving actor or a moving vehicle. When using the term tracking shot in this sense, the camera may be moved in ways not involving a camera dolly, such as via a Steadicam, via handheld camera operator, or by being panned on a tripod
Crane-a shot taken by a camera on a crane or jib
Hand-held- a camera is held in the camera operator's hands as opposed to being mounted on a tripod or other base. They are often shakier than other shots because someone is holding the camera (THINK BLAIR WITCH)
Zoom- zooming in
Reverse zoom- zooming out
Steadicam- a brand 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.
