The motivation between this camera movement is to give contrast between the two main characters. 2017 BET Soultrain Award ( Soul Cypher Scene)  Time_0:40 I believe a camera dolly was used for this scene only because of it's smooth transition from a high angle to moving closer to the objects face. The motivation used for this movement is to focus (give the audience's attention) on the subject. Spectre (2015) Time_0:45 This film would have to be one of my favorite action films of all time. For this scene, they used numerous tracking shot. By this, the camera is physically moving from the side to track the movement and action of the subjects.
