Eye level
An eyelevel angle is the one in where

height, so if the actor is looking at the
lens, he wouldn't have to look up or
down.
High angle
A high-angle shot is where the camera
looks down on the subject from a high
angle. High-angle shots can make the
subject seem vulnerable or powerless.
Low angle
a low-angle shot, is a shot from a
camera angle positioned low on the
vertical axis, anywhere below the eye
line, looking up. ... Psychologically, the
effect of the low-angle shot is that it
makes the subject look strong and
powerful.
Birds eye

strong, and mighty while the viewer feels
child-like or powerless.

and dollying at the same time, i.e. simultaneous side-to side

camera is mounted on a cart which travels along
tracks for a very smooth movement. Also known as
a tracking shot or trucking shot.

used in filmmaking and television production to create
smooth horizontal camera movements. The camera is
mounted to the dolly and the camera operator and
focus puller or camera assistant usually ride on the
dolly to push the dolly back and forth.
Dolly zoom
Zooming in filmmaking and television production
refers to the technique of changing the focal length
of a zoom lens (and hence the angle of view) during
a shot this technique is also called a zoom.
The speed of the zoom allows for a further degree of
cinematographic freedom. Combined with a dolly
camera move it is possible to crate the dolly zoom
effect.
Follow
The camera physically follows the subject at a more
or less constant distance.

to your left, then look to your right that's panning.

head to look up or down. Pan and tilt can be used
simultaneously.
Tracking
A tracking shot is any shot where the camera moves
alongside the object(s) it is recording. In
cinematography, the term refers to a shot in which the
camera is mounted on a camera dolly that is then
placed on rails like a railroad track. The camera is
then pushed along the track while the image is being
filmed.
Trucking
Another term for tracking or
dollying.
