The best panning speed is one that will allow
you to explain the scene during playback.
Repeated pans of the same scene should be
avoided.
If you can hold your breath during panning
and zooming, camera shake can be
minimized, and you can concentrate more
easily on the scene.
Tilting — moving the camera vertically
To emphasize height....tilt up. [a]
To emphasize the final part of the scene...tilt
down. [b]
Tilting shots with the video camera recorder
should be slightly faster than pans.
Zooming — changing the size of the subject
To draw attention to something specific
...ZOOM in.
Because telephoto shots make camera shake
more noticeable, the recorder should be as
stable as possible.
To end the shot by making the circumstances
surrounding the scene understood...zoom out.
