How to Shoot Better Tracking Shots


I learned there are three ways to improve a tracking shot. The first being the location, because different areas have different pros and cons. And the layout my help evoke certain emotions needed for the shot. The second is production design and how the use of breakaway props, sets and vehicles so the cinematographer can be able to easily follow the subject without any unwanted shaky camera movement. The third tip is performance blocking. This could be effectively created as the background characters walk behind or infront of the main subject in the opposite direction. This creates depth and helps motivate camera movement. In addition camera movements can also help with the delivery of a tracking shot. If the scene is very suspenseful a shaky/ hand held tracking shot will effectively deliver the desired affect.
