Camera Movement

Some mentioned camera movements are panning the camera, trucking, and dollying. They're used to add a sense of motion to each shot, therefore infusing kinetic energy that can accentuate the action in the scene. Different movements can give off different emotions, like a dolly shot giving off discomfort as it slowly moves in on a character's face, or a pan showing distance between the subject and their location. I think a good film that I could go home and study for its camera movement is The Untouchables, because there are several moments where unusual movements are utilized to add angst to the gangster vibes. For instance, there is an infamous shot where the camera pans around the table  to shows each of the men's expression, which is something I want to look into because its an uncommon usage of a pan.
