Tracking Shot - follow the action at a certain distance. It keeps the subject on screen.
Dolly Shot - the camera is placed on a dolly and moves at a constant rate. It does not always follow the action.
Handheld Shot - filmed from the camera mans point of view. It is a little shaky in order to show the scene from the subjects perspective and feeling.
Zoom Shot - either zooms in to isolate the subject or zooms out to show it in a wider context.
Swish Pan - moves swiftly from one subject to the other.
