Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Avoid panning just because it is "moving pictures."
-
Step 2
Make the movement in your pictures come from the on-screen action, not the movement of the camera.
-
Step 3
When panning, hold a steady shot for three to four seconds, then pan, then hold at the end for another three to four seconds. However, you can use a "swish-pan," or fast pan, to connect two dissimilar subjects.
-
Step 4
Break up pan or tilt shots with static shots. Pans and tilts should never follow one after another.
-
Step 5
Use a pan or a tilt to relate one element to another.
-
Step 6
Make your pans sensible. Don't pan from an exciting subject to a dull one.
