Camera Movement

The use of static camera in the interview room has already been discussed in a previous post (entitled 'The Interview'), so I thought that I would put a little bit of information on what I would like to do in the flashbacks.
I want to use a lot of camera movement in the flashbacks to contrast the static camera in the interview, also complimenting the difference in colours. By keeping the camera moving it also adds to the dreamlike/reminiscent quality I hope the colours in the flashbacks will give it, while also holding the audience's interest and displaying the passage of time. Good examples of this constant flowing movement are Edgar Wright's 'Hot Fuzz' and Matthew Vaughn's 'Layer Cake', which I have added a link for below.

The problems with trying to include constant camera movement are the thorough planning needed for smooth editing and also the lack of experience I have with a camera, not to mention, the lack of a steady cam.
