PAN: The pan movement to me is a moving point of interest witch is followed by the camera to highlight what the p.o.i is, also gives a full view of the p.o.i and the speed and the way it moves, this can be used to portray emotion in how fast it's moving and the way it's moving. The background and scenery can also play a big part in this particular movement as it shows more than just one angle of the scenery as it can go up to a maximum of a 360 degree view.
Tracking shot: In my opinion this shot is used when showing facial expressions at a close range. Could also be used to show specific lighting views such as when the lighting is used to highlight the p.o.i. this shot is mainly used for facial expression and a larger view of the p.o.i, when highlighting facial expressions this can be used to define the mood of the character/object.
Tilt: Personally i think tilt is used to show a characters full body language and facial expression or to create suspense. suspense is created when the camera tilts but does not show the actual p.o.i till the very last moment for example in a crime show when you suspect someone but when the camera tilts it reveals the face last to create a line of suspense as to who it was. the tilt can also show of lighting and a different perspective of the scenery in the background.
Pull focus: I think pull focus is used to highlight two separate p.o.i's. two characters but at a different time in the same scene which allows you to focus on both characters expressions both bodily and facially at a different time so you can see bot instead of just one.
Crane: Crane is used to show a sky view of the scene this is good for showing the layout of the scene and also to show something specific that you can't normally see from a different angle so the crane is used to show it from another angle.could also show some feeling as to the tension of the scene and how each character reacts.
Aerial: a vertical angle on the scene which shows the scene from a different angle. this angle shows the layout and the views you wouldn't be able to use when looking at a straight focus on the scene.
Whip pan: Shows a quick glance at the scene. this angle wouldn't be used to highlight a p.o.i as the camera moves to fast to capture anything important.can also be used when trying to focus on peoples facial expressions within a short time frame making the viewer quickly inter prate a quick analysis of what the character is thinking or planning.
Handheld: Can be used to create tension between the scene and viewer for example when used in horror films to show the characters movement from an eyesight view. This can show the viewer what he character is feeling for example when the camera is shaking rapidly we know the character is heavily breathing which can show he/she is scared or out of breath.
