CINETECHNIQUES

Pan

Horizontal camera rotation on a fixed axis that reveals new geography without traveling the body.

Background

A classic establishing language: the camera pivots left or right so the audience discovers space continuously. Use it when the story needs a horizon of information, not a cut.

Prompt

Includes camera move matched to the title, plus lens triad extras: focal length, aperture/T-stop, ISO, shutter, white balance, and the story being filmed.
