Pan+and+Tilt

A **pan** is a camera angle in which the camera moves from left to right using a centered object. A pan shot may be necessary to capture whole set. This shot can be used when an actor is climbing up the stairs, or when filming the actor from a side view, walking through a park.

The term "pan" is short for panorama, and is often times confused with a tracking shot. There is also something called a **swish pan**, which is like a pan, but faster. The swish pan is when the scene pans so quick, that it can't be seen. This type of pan can also be called a flick pan, a zip pan, and a whip pan. A swish pan can be used for showing cities like New York at high speeds, this is to emphsize the fact of how busy it is.

A tilt is similar to a pan, but moves in the opposite direction. A **tilt** is a camera angle that moves from up to down using a centered object. This is a picture of a remote control camera that has the ability to use the pan and tilt technique.

A tilt shot used in a film would start at the top and move down (or vice versa). This would be used to go from a beautiful evening sky down into an Italian city.
