Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between camera movement and audience emotional resonance in dance imagery, examining four dimensions: concrete translation, core dimensions, practical approaches, and guiding mechanisms. It demonstrates how camera movement concretely encodes dance emotions through trajectory, speed, and perspective, while establishing resonance foundations via spatial, rhythmic, and cognitive empathy. By optimizing movement types, hierarchical design, and spatial configurations, the research enhances resonance effects, ultimately serving to amplify emotional symbolism, activate immersive perception, clarify emotional logic, and expand resonance boundaries. The study reveals the intrinsic mechanisms of camera movement in guiding emotional resonance, providing theoretical references for dance imagery creation.
