Camera

 The first camera built

Alphonse Giroux created a daguerreotype camera in 1839, which was the first photographic device to be manufactured for mass production. With each camera and its attachments costing 400 francs, Giroux and Daguerre secured a deal to manufacture the devices in France.

To demonstrate how a camera is used and what the buttons on a camera do, I've attached a photo here.

 

What is camera movement?

A camera movement is a term used to describe how a camera travels around to assist tell a story better. In order to shift the viewer's perspective without cutting, specific camera motions might be a wonderful method to enhance the immersion and interest of your film. 

What are the types of camera movement?

The seven basic camera movements are :

• Pan
• Tilt
• Zoom 
• Tracking Shot
• Dolly Shot
• Following shot
• Pedestal
  

It starts with the pan. Moving your camera from one side to the other is known as panning. In general, panning is useful for revealing a bigger scene, such as a crowd, or for revealing something off-screen.

Consider your camera to be your head nodding up and down as you tilt it. As a "reveal" approach, tilts are useful for either revealing anything from top to bottom or the opposite.

The most popular camera movement is undoubtedly "zooming," which allows you to swiftly get closer to the subject without actually moving. However, use caution with these as zooming degrades the quality of your images.

A "tracking shot" is a recording in which the camera moves in sync with the action being captured. Dolly shots and tracking shots can sometimes be confused, but you can tell them apart by the path they follow.

When the camera moves toward or away from the subject you're photographing, it's called a "dolly shot." The camera is physically moving in relation to the subject rather than using the zoom to go closer.

The "following" shot is a tracking shot in which the subject's action is continuously captured by the camera. Steadicams and gimbals are your allies if you want to get a fluid, seamless following shot. Otherwise, wobbly, handheld pictures convey a realistic or unsettling feeling.

Our last shot is the pedestal, also referred to as a boom up/down. To achieve this, raise or lower the camera in relation to the topic. It differs from the tilt we previously discussed in that the entire camera ascends or falls, not just the angle. A pedestal shot can be utilised to keep the framing at eye level while framing a tall or lofty subject (such a building).
