Slow dolly in toward the subject
The camera pulls back in a smooth dolly out, revealing the surroundings
The camera orbits slowly around the subject
The camera cranes upward, revealing the scene from above
An FPV drone flies through the scene at speed, weaving past obstacles
Tracking shot, the camera moves alongside the subject at matching speed
Handheld camera with subtle natural shake
Static camera on a tripod, the scene moves within the frame

Yes — dolly, orbit, crane, tracking, FPV and pan are standard film vocabulary that Seedance, Veo, Sora, Kling and Runway all learned from their training data. Wording varies slightly per model; the copy buttons give you the most portable phrasing.
Usually the prompt asks for too much: two movements at once, or a fast move on a complex scene. Use one movement, add a speed word like "slow" or "smooth", and keep the scene description under ~60 words.
