I find using the Animation Palette for the Cameras is best. You seem to always need to add some Breaks or change the type of animation (Linear, Spline, etc...) to get the desired results. Often, unless you are doing a Matrix type shot or a one of the other Movement shots(Pan. Tilt. Zoom. Tracking shot. Dolly shot. Following shot. Pedestal. ), most of the shots you do not want the Camera moving, but more like a change position, from an Close Up Camera, to a Long shot, etc... ( Long Shot, Medium Shot, Close Up, Extreme Close Up, High Angle, Low Angle, Over the Shoulder, Point of View)

Arial shot can be a Still or Animated Camera.  There are others... those were the ones I remember we used to reference when setting up Story Boards, PreVis, and POCs
