Shot duration how long the image lasts on screen. Produces mobile framing that scans spaces vertically. Yields the impression of unrolling a space from top to bottom or bottom to top: panorama. The camera as a whole does not move to a new position, onscreen the pan scans the space horizontally. Camera is moving on a stationary support. Produces a mobile framing that scans spaces horizontally: tracking (dolly or trucking shot) tracking (moves on a track) Shot that travels in any direction along the ground, can be circular, side to side, diagonal along the ground freedom of movement. The camera as a whole changes position, traveling in any direction. Camera is on a dolly dolly shot is similar (looser) allows more. Graceful movement maintaining an evenly centered filming.
