The view sweeps from left to right or from right to left. Differs from the tracking shot in that the camera is not mounted on a movable object but stays fixed. It pans on a horizontal axis (short for "panorama"). In a Flash Pan or Zip Pan the movement is very rapid, so that the filmed action on the screen appears as only a blurred movement.
