Camera movement and editing

  Camera Movement 1) Hand Held  Handheld. With handheld shots the camera is carried by the operator, often creating an uneven movement. These shots allows the operator to follow action very closely, creating a greater sense of immediacy for the audience, and may mimic the movement of a character in point of view shots.  2) Zoom Camera Movement  hosts use this feature to know if an attendee has a question and would like to be allowed to speak.
