For some interesting compound shots try:
Moving the pan & tilt control the same direction as you move the rear of the jib. This keeps your subject
framed but changes the perspective of the camera.
Example:

Move the pan & tilt head all the way to the left, zoom out w/ subject framed in foreground

Now move your hands to the right (camera swings to the left) while panning the camera right, keeping
your subject framed.

You can also try this with up and down shots or diagonal shots. Just remember to move your hands the
same direction as you pan/tilt the camera.
