crane shot
Sweeping camera movement
A crane shot is a film technique where the camera moves vertically or sweeps through space on a mechanical arm, creating dramatic reveals or following action across different elevations.
The movement can soar over crowds, descend into scenes, or track subjects in ways impossible with fixed cameras: The crane shot pulled back to reveal the entire battlefield.
