Follow shot (or moving shot) is a specificcamera angle.[1] The subject being filmed is seemingly pursued by the camera,[2] for example by aSteadicam. The follow shot can be achieved through tracking devices,panning, the use of acrane, andzoom lenses resulting in different qualitative images but, nevertheless, recording a subject (performer) in motion.
Follow shots are typically used in film to establish audience alignment with the perspective of the character being followed and to follow them. The audience is made aware of the character's presence and is able to observe them in action, while also being forced to identify with the character. It is considered neither first-person perspective nor third-person perspective.
