Camera Movements
Crane Shot: a shot at a scene in which the camera moves down into the story/scene from the air. This movement has a feeling of falling into the character's world. Crane; Wide Vista Shot: a long shot version of the crane shot that gives the feeling of how small the character is, as well how large the obstacle is that he/she has to overcome. Extreme High to Low Shot: when the camera moves from a very high position to a very low position. This gives the character/interest a sense of authority to the viewer, or strong and imposing fear.

Reveals something dangerous that the character has to overcome, and sends the audience into a totally different emotional direction. Quick Push In: when the camera is pushed quickly towards the character/interest. Imposes a feeling of surprise or shock. Slow Camera Dolly
