Notation generally used to indicate 'move the camera and tripod to the camera operator's right.'

• A. TL
• B. Pan
• C. TR
• D. Tilt

Answer: (C)

In shot notation, moving the camera and its tripod to the camera operator’s right is described by the abbreviation that stands for truck right. This tells the crew to relocate the entire rig laterally to the right, not to rotate the camera. Pan and Tilt, by contrast, refer to rotating the camera in place (pan is horizontal rotation, tilt is vertical), so they don’t indicate changing the rig’s position. TL would indicate truck left, the opposite direction. So the code for moving the entire setup to the right is TR.
