Camera Movement Lab
Six movements in an interactive diagram of position, orientation and field of view.
Use it in your project
- Start paused and scrub to inspect position and direction changes.
- Compare Pan with Truck, then Dolly with Zoom. Observe what remains fixed.
- Copy the movement description and adapt it to your setting, subject and duration.
Worked example
Dolly moves the camera itself; zoom narrows the field of view from one position. The diagram is schematic, not a calibrated lens or distance simulation. Tilt is shown in side elevation.
