Pan팬

The camera turns left or right from a fixed position to reveal the view.

···

Pedestal페디스털

The camera moves straight up or down to change its height.

···

Crane / jib크레인·지브

A camera on a long arm rises or falls through a broad change of view.

···

Dolly in / out달리 인·아웃

The camera physically moves toward or away from the subject.

Imagine keeping your feet planted while tipping your head up to see a building's roof. The camera rotates vertically, so the horizon and visible parts of the building shift within the frame.

Keyframe the tripod's tilt axis or the virtual camera's pitch while keeping its center position and roll level. Looking upward can still make a building's vertical edges converge toward the top because of perspective.

A tilt changes the viewing direction; a pedestal changes camera height. Rotating the whole frame is a roll, so keep those moves distinct.

When to use

Use it to reveal a person's or structure's height or guide the viewer's gaze vertically. A long move can make the destination feel unclear.
