The 360 tracking shot was made famous by Quentin Tarantino, who made this his trademark shot. The shot involves the camera rotating around the area of action in a circular 360 degrees motion shot. The effect of this is that you as the audience feel like part of the action as you are seeing the action from all sides.
Getting the best results with the 360 tracking shot involves using a fixed track with the camera built onto a slider which can be moved manually around the action. This makes the camera movent more stable and gives the camera man more control in the speed at which they travel around the action. This video is an example of a 360 tracking shot using a built tack, in an indoor dance film shoot.
This shot is something that we are looking into using as a group as we feel that it will allow us to engage the audience and tell a story in a way that they may have never seen before.
