	Tracking shot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In motion picture terminology, a tracking shot (also known as a dolly shot or trucking shot) is a segment in which the camera is mounted on a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails while the picture is being taken.
		Tracking shots and Steadicam shots are both sometimes confused with zooms, but it should be noted that they typically look subtly different.
		For that reason, any shot showing parallax will typically not be the result of simply zooming in or out (though the camera operator may of course zoom in or out while tracking).

	reverse shot : online : spring 2004
		Jean-Luc Godard once declared that a tracking shot is a moral declaration, implying that all decisions involving the camera—tracking shots, close-ups, reverse shots, establishing shots—are moral decisions.
		Shots in the film that might serve to establish are notable for their illegibility.
		Common are shots of near-microscopic closeness that pan to accumulate, and close-ups that pull away to reveal.

	GLOSSARY OF FILM TERMS
		Thus, a shot that goes on for a long time without an edit is called a "long take." During filming the same piece of action may be filmed from the same camera setup several times (e.g., trying for different emotions on the part of the actors); each time is called a take.
		Tracking Shot: The camera is mounted on a dolly or truck, and moves horizontally on wheels or railroad-like tracks to follow the action being filmed or to survey the setting.
		A long shot usually at the beginning of a scene, to establish the spatial relationships of the characters, actions, and spaces depicted in subsequent closer shots.

		In the "Test Shot Tracking" movie clip, you can see the test footage that would serve as proof-of-concept for CG logs, followed by a tracking test based on measurements of the highway, logs, and truck.
		The test shot was a complete success, and it was clear to everyone that using CG logs for the log sequence would provide the necessary control without sacrificing realism.
		For the shot where the log crashes into Thomas's squad car, a still frame of a real log was rotoscoped and warped based on a CG wireframe to give the illusion of rotation as it crashed into the car.

	Camera movement in Vertigo
		The next shot consists of a languid, fluid camera movement that tracks back from Scottie at the bar through a partition that at once separates and connects the bar and the dining area, as he glances screen-left to the back of the restaurant.
		As the camera tracks around the embracing couple the background transforms into the Mission San Juan Bautista stable, the historical place of Scottie’s last embrace with Judy, and the place associated with Carlotta Valdes, and finally into an ethereal, timeless jade-green light (nominally motivated by the presence of a neon sign outside the hotel room).
		The forward-tracking point-of-view shot, backward-tracking reaction-shot structure of the film creates a movement in which the object of sight and desire, the lure for the gaze, keeps, as it were, receding from view.

		Professionally-designed gear makes it easier to achieve steady shots, but, with enough time, tracking shots can be perfected with the crudest equipment.
		Tracking shots can be used with both stationary and moving objects.
		Since perspective changes with the movement of the camera, slowly tracking the camera around a stationary object allows the audience to discover, explore and get a "feel" for the mass, texture, form and other characteristics of the object.

		The tracking shot temporarily stops above the fifth group of stones, then pans down slightly, and holds at a shot of the middle of a stone in the shape of a trapezium.

		Establishing Shot -- At the beginning of a film, episode or scene within a film, a wide-angle or "full-shot" is photographed for the purpose of identifying the location or setting.
		The tracking shot is so called because it is sometimes photographed from a dolly that moves on tracks.

		Tracking is the process of automatically locating a point or series of points from frame to frame in a sequence, allowing the user to stablise, track to or solve object or camera movement in the shot.
		TRACK is therefore a very flexible tool allowing a number of different ways to track and solve a camera move.
		The move of TRACK from 2D to 3D tracking was reflected by a general shift in the industry to 3D.

	STIR OF ECHOES \| Banned From the Ranch Entertainment
		The former was originally storyboarded as a shot from Tom's POV of Samantha disappearing into the floor as the room changed around her, but during production David came up with the idea of seeing Maggie's disembodied hands reach in to grab Tom's face, breaking the dead girl's spell over him.
		The last challenge on the shot was that since the completed shot started in one lighting scheme and ended in another, the surrounding scenes had to be finaled in color timing and that timing matched in the two sides of the transition before BFTR's final shot could be rendered.
		BFTR's final shot for STIR was also its longest one: a 1400-frame crane shot in which Samantha's spirit, now at peace, appears in three separate places in the same shot as the camera tilts/pans and then cranes up to follow the ghost as she walks off into the night.

		The Tracking Shot in Kapo is one of the last texts written by French movie critic Serge Daney before his death in June 1992.

		A sign that tracking shots are no longer a moral issue and that cinema is too weak to entertain such a question.
