Emotions From Camera Movements
Crane Down: An entrance movement, like being plopped down into the world, and becoming part of the scene or setting.
Crane Up: A shot that makes the character smaller, and less consequential, signifying a large obstacle to overcome or a feeling of helplessness
High to Low Angle: Shows a feeling of authority and power, makes the character feel imposing
Handheld Camera: When used properly and shakily, makes a feeling of danger and uneasiness, makes audience unsure and uncomfortable
Quick Pan: Reveals a new thing, quickly changing the context or danger of the scene
Quick Push In: For a character being shaken or shocked, a reaction shot for surprise
Slow Dolly In: Shares in the emotions of the character, making the viewer feel what the character feels
Slow Dolly Out: Also shared with audience, with a feeling of being lost or unsure
Dolly Across: Reveals a change in a situation, giving a new emotion to the scene
Smooth Glidecam Across: Feels confrontational or epic, shows the scene from multiple angles
Glidecam 360: Shows a calm, feels as if it is building up to something, or right before an important event
Zolly (Dolly Zoom): An overwhelming emotional feeling (Very well used without a subject, like in Fellowship Of The Ring on the empty path, to convey a deep discomfort or unease)
