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.
