The camera is proportional to the perceived emotion/feel of the shot. If there is a rant or fast movement, the camera tracks the object in unsteady “steps”. In contrast, a moody or relaxed shot is tracked steadily to keep a relative horizon line in each moment. A consistency to be noted is the circle closing in-out of a shot as it begins rolling and closes. It reminds me of the classic 007 movies with a circular enclosing of a shot as it moves on to the next. The movement of the camera is relatively subtle as the it focuses on a point of the frame without straying to far from the point of enclosure/opening of a shot.

The shot is constantly moving in a consistent pace, around the object (elephant). Moving counter clockwise, the elephant moves once the camera reaches the forehead, emphasizing the life perceived to have gone. The object(s) in focus is mostly the elephant trunk and feet. The trunk is used to emphasize movement as well as guide the view to the feet. The feet are, for the most part, in motion and the head is hardly seen. The elephant moves toward the camera, but the camera remains constant and steady, whilst continuing its motion and capture.
