You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.24.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In [[cinematography]], a '''tracking shot''' is any [[Shot (filmmaking)|shot]] where the [[film camera|camera]] follows backward, forward or moves alongside the subject being recorded. 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'''. A handheld steadycam or gimbal may also be used for smaller scale productions. The camera is then pushed along the track while the scene is being filmed, or moved manually when using a handheld rig. The effect can be used to create a sense of movement, to follow a character or object, or a sense of immersion to draw the viewer into the action.<ref>((Cite web |title=The Dolly Shot: Creative Uses of Camera Movements, Shots, Angles - By Jason Hellerman |url=https://www.cinemagics.com/amp/the-dolly-shot-creative-uses-of-camera-movements-shots-angles-by-jason-hellerman |access-date=2023-03-11 |website=www.cinemagics.com))</ref><ref>((Cite journal |last=Trotter |first=David |date=2010-04-28 |title=Hitchcock's Modernism |url=https://euppublishing.com/doi/pdf/10.3366/mod.2010.0008?download=true |journal=Modernist Cultures |volume=5 |pages=122–123 |doi=10.3366/mod.2010.0008 |issn=2041-1022 ))</ref>

The technique is often used to follow a subject that would otherwise leave the frame (thus also called a '''following shot'''), such as an actor or vehicle in motion.<ref>Blain Brown. ''Cinematography: Theory and Practice : I:)
magemaking for Cinematographers, Directors & Videographers''. Focal Press, 2002; pg. 66; ((ISBN|0240805003)).</ref> A handheld or [[Steadicam]] mounted camera following a similar trajectory is called a tracking shot as well. In fact a tracking shot can use any manual or motorized conveyance, and may include [[Long take|careful planning]] for passing the camera between vehicles or modes. While the core idea is that the camera moves parallel to its subject, a tracking shot may move in a circular or semi-circular fashion, rotating around its subject while remaining equidistant.<ref>Mercado, Gustavo. ''The Filmmaker's Eye: Learning (and Breaking) the Rules of Cinematic Composition''. Focal Press, 2010; pg. 155; ((ISBN|0240812174)).</ref>

This kind of shot, in which the camera itself moves along with the subject or in relationship to it, should not be confused with [[Panning (camera)|panning]], in which the camera remains stationary but pivots right or left on its axis.<ref>Dirks, Tim. ''Film Terms Glossary.'' ((cite web|title=''Film Terms Glossary: pan (or panning shot, or panoramic shot)''|url=https://www.filmsite.org/filmterms15.html|website=filmsite.org))</ref>

==Terminology==
A tracking shot is a blanket term used to refer any camera shot with movement, with "trucking shot" and "dolly shot" being tracking shot variations. Generally, a "dolly shot" refers to a specific variation of tracking shot in which the camera move forwards or backwards with respect to the subject. <ref>((Cite web |title=Dolly Shot|url=https://www.mediacollege.com/video/shots/dolly.html | access-date= 20 Sep 2023 |website=www.mediacollege.com))</ref>
The term "trucking shot" is less common but usually specifically refers to a shot in which the camera moves left or right in respect to the subject. <ref>((Cite web |title=Trucking Shot|url=https://www.mediacollege.com/video/shots/trucking.html | access-date= 20 Sep 2023 |website=www.mediacollege.com))</ref>

==Variant==
A variant of the tracking shot is the onride video, also known as a [[phantom ride]], where the camera films during a ride on a train, an amusement ride (especially a roller coaster) or another vehicle. Such videos may be used to document the route, and the camera can be fixed to the vehicle or held by a person in the vehicle.<ref>((Cite web |title=BFI Screenonline: Phantom Rides |url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1193042/ |access-date=2022-11-05 |website=www.screenonline.org.uk))</ref>


==Use in sporting events==
The "rail cam" made a public debut in the [[NHL]] on November 20, 2006 in the [[Colorado Avalanche]]/[[Dallas Stars]] hockey game. The [[Versus (TV channel)|Versus]] [[cable television]] network used the camera during the game to test it out for a live use on a nationally broadcast program. The camera was fastened to a [[Rail tracks|rail system]] that ran on the top of the glass on one side of the [[ice rink]]. As the play shifted from end to end, the motorized mount allowed the camera to follow the action, sliding rapidly down the side of the ice. The system was developed by Fletcher Chicago.<ref>((cite web|title=VERSUS To Debut Rail Cam For Avalanche-Stars Game Monday|url=http://avalanche.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=426645|website=NHL.com|publisher=NHL.com|access-date=9 July 2015))</ref> The experiment was short-lived, and the "rail-cam" is no longer used in NHL hockey games.<ref>((cite web|last1=Fischer|first1=John|title=Enhancing the Viewer's Hockey Experience with Isolated Cameras on Players|url=http://www.inlouwetrust.com/2010/11/5/1792294/enhancing-the-viewers-hockey-experience-with-isolated-cameras-on|website=inlouwetrust.com|date=5 November 2010 |publisher=[[Vox Media, Inc.]]|access-date=9 July 2015))</ref>

For live TV broadcast of sporting events, a remote stabilized camera head is often mounted on a [[Cable-suspended camera system|cable suspended system]] or a vehicle to track the athletes. For example a [https://newtonnordic.com/ Newton stabilized head] is often used on 1D cable cam at Nordic skiing or on a car for tracking the runners at marathons.
