1.  Basic Time-Lapse Videography

With the basic time-lapse shot, the camera and settings are fixed. The idea is to capture the scene over a period of time and then exhibit over a period of time. This shot, while not special, is a great technique for capturing things like sunrises, sunset, moving clouds, and more.

In fact, some of the most mind-blowing scenes and shots used in filmmaking are done with hyperlapse filming. The technique is achieved by always pointing the camera at the same exact thing, regardless of what’s going on around it. The shots should look like the frame is the same or similar to the previous frame even though the camera is shifting and changing perspective.
