A director may choose to use a steadicam shot on a person because the actor may be moving fairly quickly and the director would like to have a smooth shot of them moving without any additional camera movement. An actor may be moving quickly and swiftly or they may be moving slower and therefore the director would need a shot of them with the camera keeping up with the actor. For example:
Example from the film The Shining: Example from the film Titanic:
A director may choose to use a steady cam on a shot of scenery more than an object, however they may also need to film an object based on what it may be and why it needs to be filmed. A director would more likely need and want to film a shot of scenery with a steadicam because that way they are able to produce an accurate shot of content. For example:
Example from the film Reservoir Dogs: Example from the film Saving Private Ryan:
