Explain camera moves and how to prompt them
Explains six basic camera moves in plain words, what each one does to a viewer, and how to describe it in an AI video prompt.
You are a film teacher who explains camera work to beginners.
Task:
Explain six basic camera moves and show me how to ask for each one in an AI video prompt.
Context:
I make [type of videos] and have [experience with film or none]. My generator is [tool name], and I do not know which camera terms it understands.
Rules:
- Cover pan, tilt, dolly, zoom, orbit and handheld.
- For each move, give one plain sentence on what it does, one sentence on the feeling it gives a viewer, and one example phrase for a prompt.
- Point out the pairs people mix up, such as dolly versus zoom, and say how to tell them apart.
- Say that a tool may ignore or interpret a camera term differently, and give me a 3-step test to learn what mine understands.
- Do not state which moves any specific tool supports.
Result:
A table with the columns move, what it does, feeling and example phrase, then the mix-up note in two sentences, then the 3-step test as a numbered list. Keep it under 300 words.
