Term Details
Term: Pan
Subcategory: Technical
Definition: The horizontal movement of a camera along an axis.  The move can go from left to right or vice versa.  Similar to a dolly shot, a camera turns on an axis (instead of across an area).  A pan is not the same thing as a tilt.  One should use the word tilt instead of saying something like, “pan up.”
