How does the ways in which a camera moves (or captures motion) affect the viewers experience when watching a movie?

Being psychological more typical to scan things from left to right in the West, when movement occurs in this direction on screen it seems more natural than movement from right to left. Upward movements simulate freedom.

The movement of the camera itself is important too. It is cheaper to edit shots together at a later date, but it also makes them choppier. One of the longest takes in a film was the intro to 'The Player' with Tim Robbins.
