locked off
Sealed from entry
Locked off describes a camera position that has been fixed in place, with no panning, tilting, or movement during a shot.
Filmmakers use locked-off shots for visual stability, time-lapses, or scenes where stillness creates tension: We kept the camera locked off for the entire interrogation scene.
The term extends to any equipment secured against adjustment.
