Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. A pan shot is the name given to the panoramic vista.
2. It occurs when the camera sweeps across the scene and covers a wide area of view, from one side of the scene to the other.
3. The pan shot belongs to the editing process of a film, in which the shots are assembled into a whole.
4. The long shot is related to the pan. It is a shot that takes in a wide expanse and as many characters at once as possible. The pan, however, specifically sweeps across the area of view.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: It was a photo essay of the Civil War. With the Battle of Gettysburg at its center, the publication condemned the horrors of war.
