Tilt shot - The simple move of a camera upwards or downwards on a axis. An upwards shot is often used by directors to create a sense of height or power. Tilt shot can be used with a point of view shot to follow the characters view of action.
Zoom shot - A zoom can be used as an alternative to a tracking shot if the user doesn't have the equipment to use a tracking shot. This creates a movement towards and into the character. When this shot is done well, it can replace a tracking shot.
Arc shot - When the camer is moved round a character or object in either a full or half of a circle. It enables the viwers to see the reaction and facial expression of the character/s. This shot often increases the intensity of the narative.
