The height of the camera position dictates the view-perhaps of a character looking at something/one. It also provides the viewpoint of the audience on the action.
The convention is that the height of the camera will correspond to the 'eye-line' of characters on screen(top third). Cutting from one character to another will usually require an 'eye-line match'. The camera can move up or down as characters rise and sink to their knees.
Tilt- a movement of the camera where it tilts up and down from a fixed point. Can give the impression of looking up and down.
Pan-a common movement when the camera swivels on its axis to describe an arc which displays a panoramic view. the arc is no more than 270 degrees as a full pan is often disorientating.
Tracking- move in towards the subject OR track alongside a moving subject OR arc around the subject.
