Panning is classified as a type of camera movement because it involves physically rotating the camera horizontally from a fixed location to follow a subject or provide a wider view of a scene. This technique effectively changes the viewer's perspective and can help establish context, reveal more of the environment, or create a sense of motion. Unlike camera angles, positions, and shot compositions, which focus on how the camera is set up relative to the subject, panning specifically pertains to the dynamic action of moving the camera to enhance storytelling or visual engagement.
