6. Directing

The Director will give commands to be carried out by all camera operators. The director will give a pre-
paratory “Ready to . . .” command followed by the “Do it” command (e.g.:  “Take”, “Fade”, etc. . . ). Do 
not execute the operation until the command is given by the director.  Example:  “Ready camera 2,take 
2.’ When reframing shots, it is important for the camera crew to execute the director’s commands as 
quickly as possible.

Ready: 

is followed by an “execute” cue. You are alerting others involved in the program what is going 

to happen next. “Ready Camera 1 - Take 1.”  

Take:

 is a direct cut between two cameras.

Dissolve: 

is a smooth transition from one video source to another.

Tilt

: vertical camcorder pivot; “tilt up” or “tilt down.”

Pan

: horizontal camera pivot from a stationary position; “pan left” or “pan right.”

Dolly:

 camera & tripod movement toward or away from a subject; “dolly in or “dolly out.” Dollying 

results in a more dramatic change in perspective than zooming. 

Truck

: horizontal camera & tripod movement 

alongside a subject; “truck left” or “truck right.”

Pedestal (or boom):

 vertical camera & tripod 

move; “pedestal up” or “pedestal down”.

Zoom: 

changing the focal length of the lens from 

wide angle to telephoto or vice versa, to enlarge 
or shrink the subjects and show more or less 
space around them in the frame. “Zoom in” (close 
up) or “zoom out” (wide shot).

Head room: 

amount of empty space above the 

top of the head.

Lead room (or nose room):

 amount of empty 

space in front of the subject on the side that they 
are facing.

That’s a wrap:

 means the shoot is finished.

Strike:

 means tear down and pack up equipment.
