Now the first thing you might be wondering is, what exactly is a jib? Well here it is (image):

By positioning a camera at the top of a jib, a production team is able to get many different angled shots that can’t be achieved by other means. Jib arm shorts capture many different aspects of what we see in television and films. An example of this shot is one that seems high above and slowly lowers until it is level with the ground. It kind of gives that “floating camera” affect that adds a huge dynamic to any production.
Jibs are ideal for music videos, dynamic shots, and any kind of open area shots. It immediately helps a video stand out from others. It takes a skilled operator to be able to control a camera with a jib appropriately because they can’t look through the viewfinder. A remote camera control is necessary to alter the focus and zoom of the camera during the shot.
