The Camera Movement Vocabulary Prompt

Give me the camera movement vocabulary for [PLATFORM] with
descriptions of what each actually produces.

For each movement, tell me:
1. The term and its variants
2. What it does physically
3. How reliably video models produce it
4. The phrasing that works best
5. What it is commonly confused with
6. When to use it, and when it is the wrong choice

Cover:
- Static / locked off
- Pan (left, right)
- Tilt (up, down)
- Push in / pull out (dolly)
- Zoom (and why it differs from a dolly)
- Tracking / following
- Orbit / arc
- Crane / jib
- Handheld
- Steadicam / gimbal
- Whip pan
- Dolly zoom
- Aerial / drone
- Rack focus

Rank them by how reliably they generate. I want to know which moves
are safe and which are a gamble.
