What does a pan camera movement do?

Explanation:
A pan is a horizontal rotation of the camera around a vertical axis, usually done from a fixed position on a tripod. This lets you sweep the scene left or right to follow action without moving the camera’s location. It’s why the described movement—moving the camera horizontally to track a subject—best fits. Tilting would move the camera up or down, zooming changes the subject size with the lens, and moving up or down is a tilt. So the left-right horizontal movement is the pan.
