Tracking Shot
A tracking shot is a shot used in which a camera follows a subject within the frame such as moving actor or moving vehicle.
Tracking shot can include smooth movements forward, backwards, along side with the subject or on a curve.
The equipment needed for a tracking shot are a camera dolly, a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails. It is pushed whilst filming. Sometimes a crane may also be used for a tracking shot.
