Camera Techniques

Whip pan, Whip cut- where the camera is focused on one subject then all of a sudden quickly pans to a new subject in another location but in the same room

Whip, Zoom look- When it is a either a close up or a wider shot then quickly either zooms in or out on the subject to mess with the viewers eyes. 

Search Up- used to get a full body look of a character either from head to toe or vise versa 

Back to front- when some thing goes far away from the camera then the next shot is that thing close to the camera from the other side

Focus out, pass out- the final moments before a character loses consciousness from the point of view of the character 

Focus transition- When the viewer is focused on a single spot on the screen then everything else around the character becomes blurry or vise versa

Overexpose Fade, underexposed fade-  when the character is barely visible either because everything is very bright or very dim

Ceiling twist- when the camera is pointing up and spinning in circles sometimes from the point of view of the character 

Shifting angles-  The camera is constantly changing angles in different ways and make the viewer a little sick. usually the angles are from left to right but sometimes can be up and down

Sleepover-  The camera is from a birds eye view and rotates slowly and is most used when the character isn't conscious or asleep
