reveal a second side of a character; a quiet shift in power
An orbit clockwise circles the camera fully around the subject, clockwise. What it's for: isolate a still subject while the world moves; a turning point.
E2

Scene paragraph A misty forest clearing at dawn, photoreal medieval fantasy. A knight in battered steel plate armor and a dark blue cloak kneels alone in the center of the clearing, head bowed, both hands resting on the hilt of a longsword planted point-down in the grass. Tall pines all around, drifting mist, grey diffused light. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.
Full shot of the knight at eye level, the camera circling clockwise around him at a constant distance and height from the first second, completing a full circle in eight seconds. 0–2s: seen from the front, he kneels with his head bowed. 2–4s: his side passes as the pines swing behind him. 4–6s: his back and blue cloak pass through the frame. 6–8s: the circle returns to the front as he raises his head. Throughout: a full clockwise orbit around one subject, he stays centered, one continuous take.
Direction is judged from above. This clip came out counterclockwise and is shown mirrored; check the first quarter-turn in any orbit you generate.
