pans
Sweeps the camera
Pans are broad, shallow cooking vessels, typically metal, used on stovetops for frying, sautéing, and simmering.
The word extends to similar containers used for other purposes: a gold pan for prospecting, a bedpan for the bedridden, or the pan of a toilet.
To pan is to wash gravel in search of gold, or to criticize harshly: Critics panned the film.
In filmmaking, to pan is to rotate a camera horizontally across a scene.
