This clip contains a type of pan(oramic) called a whip pan (34:30), in which the camera spins too quickly to capture distinct images. Consequently, the blur from a whip pan can also be used as a transition between two shots. Here, it’s used to mimic Vicky’s point-of-view, as she pirouettes.

Whip pans are a relatively easy way to seamlessly transition large gaps in a film, while adding a fast paced effect. I think I will try and use this technique in my project to keep the momentum.
