Follow a moving camera

x

A tight split-frame diagram: on the left, a fixed camera on a tripod with only a person walking across the frame; on the right, the camera itself has a curved motion arrow, showing the frame changing. Minimal labels: “people move” and “camera moves.”

First, notice motion

Start by asking one simple thing: did the camera move, or did only the people move inside the frame? A moving camera changes what the viewer can see, how close we feel, and what we expect next.
