What is then the difference between a tracking shot and a travelling shot?
Ah, god, I don't know. I'm quite tired and have been for a week or more. Staying up late working on this film. I was thinking in three dimensions, thinking of being on location, not seeing it back on the screen.
Anyway what I mean is that I've never seen a rack focus send an object off the screen, though it can make objects appear to be closer together onscreen.
Sorry for the confusion. --KQ
In the film Vertigo, the effects of changing focal length are apparent: the camera tracked in one direction while zooming in the opposite direction, causing an apparent "lengthening" of distance down the stairway.

This article is in need of a major overhaul. It is a real mess. A tracking shot is almost nothing like what this article describes. In fact, this article conflates wildly tracking shots, sequence shots and long takes, with a smattering of almost every other form of camera movement, with absolutely no discrimination. 70.81.139.35 ( talk) 18:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
The amazing shot in 'Atonement' covers the history of tracking shots and could be used as a base for further research for the article. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 18:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Mention must be made of the tracking shot, low and along the length of a dining table sumptuous with food in The Eagle (1925, Rudolph Valentino. Dir. Clarence Brown). 86.139.150.121 ( talk) 05:01, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
"Mostly the camera’s position is parallel to the character, creating a sideway motion, tracking the character. Tracking shots (also called travel shots) differ in motion from dolly shots, where the camera follows behind or before the character resulting in an in-worth or out-worth movement. Often the camera is mounted on a camera dolly which rides on rails similar to a railroad track; in this case, the shot is referred to as a dolly shot."
Note that in one sentence tracking shots are said to be different from dolly shots, and in the next a tracking shot can be referred to as a dolly shot. This article needs a thorough revision. Languagehat ( talk) 15:19, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
