Advanced Camera Techniques-Crane Shots

You will notice that in quite a few films or TV programmes they might involve a shot of where it might be going from way above and descending right down at a certain pace. This may be used as establishing shots or even to introduce a scene with some scenery in the background to add more interest. So basically how a crane shot is done is by having a camera placed on the end of a crane (making sure it's on safe) and lifting the crane up at the other end up or down or you could even more it anywhere (depends how creative you want to be with the shot).

Here is an example of a Crane Shot being used.

I think that the crane shot was a bit wobbly and a bit bouncy at the start. So therefore practice is need over doing the crane shot so we can get a better shot of it.
