I like to move it, move it - the camera

I thiiiink that I was first shown this scene in a class of Dr. Butler's. And I remember the entire class being like, "whooooah. oooooh. ahhhhhh."
This scene from Orson Welles' Touch of Evil  is downright iconic for its use of camera movement. In fact, some dude writing for AMC called it the "grandaddy of all tracking shots" I remember the first time I watched it, just wondering "...how?!" Oh to be a fly on the camera and move with it. It's beyond fair to say that this movement is effective. It sets pacing to a fast and suspenseful level, exposes our location, reveals objects that our protagonists can't see, and keeps us glued to the screen by being one long shot.

So I know that this is sort of cheesy, but I can't help but adore this next kind of camera movement that I want to focus on. After a little bit of googling, I have come to find that's it's even been given a cute name! The "Orbital Kiss" shot is one where two characters kiss and the camera rotates a full 360 degrees (or more!) around them. As films had been produced over time using this trope, modern audiences have come to interpret this movement as predictable, obvious, cheesy, overkill, etc. But I can imagine that the first few times it was done, people had to be impressed, incredibly touched, and not gonna lie, probably turned on by what this movement achieves. According to tvtropes.org, the first known use of the orbital kiss was in a 1968 film called the Thomas Crown Affair, staring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.  You can glimpse the shot at the 22 second mark in this clip:

The orbital kiss movement creates a tight encapsulated sort of feeling around the two characters who are embracing and heightens their emotion. It's often used when this kiss is one that the audience has been waiting on for a long time, as sort of an "at last!" sort of reward to the viewers.

Sidenote, one should never use the orbital kiss to be discriminatory! When Star Trek aired television's first interracial kiss in this same year, they partially hid the view of Kirk and Uhura's lips meeting behind a slight orbital camera movement. I mean, they did what they had to do to get it aired though! Props for that of course.

A last of my favorite types of camera movement is one that is less obvious to the viewer. The vertigo shot. This shot is achieved by zooming in on a subject while moving the camera away from it and racking focus. This changes the depth of field of the image while maintaining the subject in focus, creating a weird, disorienting sort of stretching effect on the image. Hitchcock used it first in his film, Vertigo, hence the name. Here's an example from Apollo 13, the shot comes in around 25 sec.
