* The terms PAN, TRACK, AND ZOOM are borrowed from a Writing Analytically textbook by Rosenwasser and Stephens; they use a camera analogy to describe the relative vantage points of the research process. I will copy their eloquent explanation here: The PanThe camera pivots around a stable axis, giving the viewer the big picture. Using a pan, we see everything from a distance. Pans provide a context, some larger pattern, the forest within which the writer can also examine particular trees. The TrackThe camera no longer stays in one place but follows some sequence of action.a writer tracks by moving in on selected pieces of the larger picture and following them to make telling connections among them. The ZoomThe camera moves in even closer on a selected piece of the scene, allowing us to know more of its details.a writer zooms in by giving us more detail on a particular part of the evidence and making the details say more (Rosenwasser 231).
