Truck

Go To

Refers to moving the camera horizontally without changing the direction in which it points (that would be a Pan). Usage: "truck left," "truck right." Moving closer to or away from the subject is referred to as a dolly.

Sometimes referred to as "Track" or "Tracking Shot", although "truck" is the more correct term.

Contrast Pan, horizontally rotating the camera to get a grasp of the panorama.

Don't confuse with Loudspeaker Truck, when a passing vehicle makes a very loud noise to indicate awkwardness.


Please do not add examples to work pages, this merely defines the term.
