The <a title=\"Camera Pan\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Panning_(camera)\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">camera pan<\/a> is a <strong>horizontal rotation of the video frame from a fixed pivoting position<\/strong>. This fixed position, or swivel point, is typically shot from a tripod or handheld position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0P5nPMXtz6w\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"Band of Outsiders\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0057869\/?ref_=nv_sr_1\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Band of Outsiders<\/a> via <a title=\"BFI\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/British_Film_Institute\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">BFI<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The camera move is a ubiquitous and simple effect that helps <strong>establish spatial relationships<\/strong> within a single camera shot. This makes the camera pan a <strong>connective camera move<\/strong>, as opposed to the straight edit or cut, that can be used between characters, objects, and locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"trick-1-the-circling-pan\" class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Trick 1: The Circling Pan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since pans usually begin and end on a static, unmoving frame, one of the general rules of panning is that <strong>you need to know where to start and where to stop<\/strong> your movement. This simplifies editing your footage later on and cuts down on meandering pan shots that never seem to land on anything. However, not all pans follow this rule and cutting from one moving pan to another moving pan can work well depending on the style of your piece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-73478\" title=\"3 Tricks for Panning Your Camera in Circles: Midnight Cowboy\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg\" alt=\"3 Tricks for Panning Your Camera in Circles: Midnight Cowboy\" width=\"755\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg 742w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg?resize=300,163 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg?resize=277,150 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg?resize=359,194 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg?resize=543,294 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg?resize=560,303 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/titles-new.jpg?resize=150,81 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em><a title=\"Midnight Cowboy \" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0064665\/?ref_=nv_sr_6\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Midnight Cowboy<\/a>\u00a0via <a title=\"MGM\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">MGM<\/a> and <a title=\"Art of the Title\" href=\"http:\/\/www.artofthetitle.com\/title\/midnight-cowboy\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Art of the Title<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the opening title sequence of <em>Midnight Cowboy <\/em>(1969), the filmmakers use a <a title=\"long lens\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Telephoto_lens\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">long lens<\/a> to pan with <a title=\"John Voight\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000685\/?ref_=tt_cl_t2\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">John Voight\u2019s<\/a> character, Joe Buck, as he walks down the street.
