Film Crew Slang

Locked Down Shot - A shot taken with the pan and tilt locks on the tripod tightened so that the camera does not move. Usually done for effects where camera movement would ruin the illusion. A simple effect is a cut that causes a character to magically disappear from a scene, but much more elaborate effects rely on a locked down as well.
