There are four main ways a camera moves,
Panning, where the camera moves left or right but the base of the camera stays still, Panning can be good to slowly reveal a part of a room.
Tracking, where the camera moves along sideways, following with action. the camera is moved on a set of rails, this allows the camera man to film while the actors are walking.
Tilting, is moving the camera up or down vertically, to show a tall building or female body to show sexual attraction, looking her up and down.
Handheld, is when the camera man holds the camera to create a more uneasy image, it is often used to communicate distress.
