The use of the Pan movement builds suspense on what the character is doing to make the scene more dramatic and making the audience appear as if they are seeing the situation with there eyes giving it a human type of movement. The video uses another pan movement in the scene 1:00 to 1:20 making the scene appear more intense as the situation in this video is a man with blood coming out of his head, and that he is being chased.
