Tracking Shot

This is an example of a tracking shot from the film 'Shining'. With this shot as a viewer I get a sense that there is going to be something scary at the end of it as we feel as if we are following the young child. There is a variety of different ways a tracking shot is used mostly to follow things whilst they are moving or to show a variety of different characters and what they are doing. Tracking shots generally give the impression of travel or moving from one place to another as this example does.
