What's the difference between moving a lens and shaking it?

Pan refers to the picture taken by shaking the lens from side to side or up and down through the pan/tilt when the camera is still.

Moving lens refers to the picture taken by moving the camera position back and forth, left and right.

2. Use scene differences

Translation is a process from static to dynamic, and then from dynamic to static. Shake from one scene to another, instead of the conventional shot switching, to speed up the rhythm of the film.

Axis-shifting lens is generally used to express the unique integrity and coherence of complex space such as large scene, large depth, multi-scene and multi-level. For example, some long scrolls can show the subtle differences of scrolls with shifting lenses and small scenes.

3. Differences in visual effects

Moving the lens can show a certain subjective tendency, which can better reflect the sense of reality and scene. This method is often taken by moving the camera with the help of the subjective perspective of the middle person. Moving the lens can represent complex space better than shaking the lens.

The rocking mirror maintains the integrity and unity of space, breaks through the limitation of single fixed the picture, and expands the field of lens performance.
