panoram

English

Noun

panoram (plural panorams)

1. (film, informal, dated) A panoramic view.
   • 1938, Popular Mechanics, volume 69, number 1:

     Such a panoram should be used only on distant objects. It should be executed slowly and evenly. It should always conclude, not start, with the most interesting objects within view.

   • 2000, Stephen Herbert, A History of Early Film, volume 2, page 104:

     For one thing, the rate at which a panoram is swung depends generally on a much slower motion of the hand controlling the turntable handle than the regulation twice a second which must always be given to the camera handle.
