Follow Cameras
A
follow camera
is one that follows behind a target object in one way or another.
This type of camera can be used in a wide variety of genres—whether a racing
game, where it follows behind a car, as in the
Burnout
series, or a third-person ac-
tion/adventure game such as
Uncharted
. Because follow cameras can be used in
so many different types of games, there's a great deal of variety. A drawing of a
follow camera behind a car is shown in
