Panning Shot

This is an example of a panning shot. I think that the person taking the shot was trying to create a sense of tranqulity as they moved the camera very slowly to make sure we paid attention to everything in the shot. The camera stays still as we are shown a beach on a cloudy day. It feels kind of like a point of view shot as it feels as if we are the camera looking out to the scenery. The shot could be used in a variety of different scenes for example, to follow people or transport across a shot or simply to show a place or setting as my example video does.
