panning
In cinematography, this term describes a horizontal camera movement where the lens rotates on a fixed axis to follow a subject or survey a scene. It is distinct from a tracking shot, where the entire camera physically moves through space.
In a critical or evaluative sense, the term carries a strong negative connotation, referring to a scathing review of a creative work. To be panned is to be dismissed as a failure by critics, evoking an image of being crushed or flattened. This usage is common in entertainment journalism and is significantly more aggressive than terms like "criticized" or "disliked."
In mining, it refers to the manual process of separating gold or minerals from gravel using a shallow pan and water. This is a specialized technical term associated with prospecting.

Etymology
Derived from the noun "pan," referring to the shallow vessel used in gold mining, which entered English via Old French "pan" and Latin "patina." The cinematic sense evolved as a metaphor for the sweeping motion of a gold pan, while the critical sense emerged in the early 20th century as a slang term for crushing or flattening something.
