10 Things I Learned


Panning and tilting
Tilting and panning are good for revealing the subject or showing another aspect of the frame. Especially when subject doesn’t fit into the frame.
Subject moving, camera not moving
When camera is not moving and subject is moving the distance between subject and camera is really important. Subject spends more time in the frame if it’s far away from camera. Also it the shot becomes very generic and not specific to that particular situation.If the subject is moving and the movement is vertical (walking away from camera or walking towards camera) it spends more time in the frame then it does while moving horizontally.
Both camera and subject moving 
When camera and subject are moving, it gives a feeling of chasing. We know that we are supposed to watch that subject and follow it.
Subject not moving, camera moving
When subject is not moving and camera is moving the scene becomes more specific to subject than they both are moving at the same time. I think this is best when focusing on emotions or specific characteristics of the subject.
Subject not moving, camera moving
When subject and camera are both not moving it’s just boring. Or I just couldn’t find a good use for that.
