Which term describes the camera following the action?

• A. Tracking
• B. Trucking
• C. Cutaway Shot
• D. Dutch Angle

Answer: (A)

Tracking describes the camera moving to follow the action, usually on a dolly or with a stabilizing rig so the subject stays in frame as they move. This keeps spatial relationships clear and sustains momentum through the scene. A cutaway shot diverts to another detail or object and then returns to the main action, which breaks the movement. A Dutch angle tilts the frame to create a sense of tension or disorientation. While trucking can be used informally to refer to a moving shot, the standard term for following the action is tracking.
