Panning Shot

This is a panning shot. This means that the camera pans across a scene in order to portray the entire location to the audience. Also as to give the audience knowledge of the location. This shot rotates half way around the beach scene as, in this case, to show the calming and relaxing qualities of the scene as well as to show the surenity of the location. This is done in order to give the audience an inisght into the scene, and make them feel as though they are actually there as it allows for the audience to see more than just a single frame or portion of the scene. This may improve their overall understanding and view of the shot/scene as they find they have a greater understanding and so a greater level of appreciation can be presented. The panning shot is also used in this case as to prove the beauty of the landscape.
