Pan Shot
Turns the camera sideways from a fixed spot, carrying the frame from one side to the other to present a row of people and objects in order.
Pan Shot AI Video Prompt
Pan shot: From a fixed position the camera turns horizontally, starting on the box in Kai's hands, sweeping across Shami and Zlatia next to him, and finally settling on Pi, Serelya and the summoning device. None of the five suddenly swaps places or turns sharply because of the cut into this shot; Kai keeps holding the box at his side.
Camera Control
The camera sits at about the characters' height and stays in place, only turning horizontally to the right. At the start the center of the frame falls near the box in Kai's hands, with the orange horizon and skyline on the left; as the camera pans right, the whole row slides toward the left of the frame, the center shifts to the summoning device and Serelya, and the machine room wall and an equipment box appear on the right. The characters stay the same size throughout, showing the camera does not move forward.
A pan needs something worth landing on at both the start and the end, with what lies between arranged in order. In the prompt, specify a fixed camera turning horizontally, then say where it starts, what it sweeps across and where it settles; keep the characters in their positions and poses so the moving frame stays clear. The pan in this clip is modest, and all five remain in frame the whole time.
To introduce a row of characters or a setting laid out side by side, plan the start and end of a pan in your storyboard and create the camera turn with an AI film maker.
Story Clip
Source film EP8 Shot 1 · Reset · 00:10–00:15
Kai, Zlatia, Shami, Pi and Serelya stand in a row behind the summoning device, Kai holding the sealed box. The five stay still, looking ahead.
What to Watch For
Watch the center of the frame: it starts between the box in Kai's hands and Zlatia and ends on the summoning device and Serelya. The orange horizon on the left is pushed out of frame as the camera turns right, replaced on the right by the machine room wall and an equipment box. Nobody changes position or pose; the row simply moves from the middle of the frame to the left.
