Lens movement mainly includes seven basic types: push, pull, pan, shift, follow, rise and fall. Each method has its own unique visual effects and application scenarios.
Push In: This lens movement method is that the lens gradually approaches the subject, making the subject gradually larger in the picture, reducing the surrounding environmental elements, and guiding the audience to focus on the subject. Push shots are often used to enhance visual impact, guide emotional focus or create a tense atmosphere.
Pull Out: In contrast to push shots, pull shots are when the camera gradually moves away from the subject along the optical axis to show a wider environmental background. Pull shots are often used to show the relationship between the subject and the surrounding environment and maintain the continuity of the visual experience. Pan: The camera looks around by changing the shooting angle without changing the camera position, simulating the feeling of a person standing in place and looking around.
Move: The camera moves horizontally, left and right or up and down, to show scenes and character movements, enhance narrative effects and space conversion.
Follow shot: The camera follows the subject, which can be divided into front follow and back follow, and is often used to keep the subject's relative position unchanged in the picture.
Rise shot: The camera moves from a low position to an upward position, and the camera position and shooting angle change at the same time. It is often used to show height changes or emphasize the subject.
Lower shot: In contrast to the rise shot, the camera moves from a high position to a downward position, and the camera position and shooting angle change.
These lens movement methods are widely used in film and television production for different scenes and emotional expressions, and different movement methods are used to enhance the narrative effect and the audience's visual experience.
