Do you understand what I mean when I write this?

Question

I have to write a review of the movie March of the Penguins, and I want to make sure this makes sense:

The filming of Antarctica scenery made the landscape seem like a winter wonderland. I felt like I got a better feeling for the ecosystem of the Emperor penguins because there were so many beautiful pans of the penguins’ environment.

Did you understand what I meant when I used the word 'pan' - in terms of filming a scene (like you pan the camera over whatever you're filming)? Or should I use a different word than pan?

Answer 1

Yes, I did, but I was a bit confused on the "...I got a better feeling for the ecosystem..." I think it'd be better understood if you said, "I got a better feel for the ecosystem..."

The "pan" part is crystal, though.

and hey, you have my hair!

Answer 2

I understood the word "pan," but then I know about film techniques.

Perhaps something like "...the camera made so many beautiful pans..."

Answer 3

I understood it but you might want to think about saying panoramas instead.

Answer 4

I agree with Nerd for Jesus as long as crystal means good.

Answer 5

I didn't understand it I would use a different word

Answer 6

I say it makes you sound more professional. I say keep it the way it is.

Answer 7

Use "panorama" or "views". I don't know what the plural of panorama is.

Answer 8

I knew what you meant
