fancams are videos that follow a celebrity around on stage while they’re performing. originally, these were fan-taken videos but now include any performance where one celebrity is followed around on stage, usually from one camera &
camera angles don’t change.
fancams are primarily used on twitter, and are popular mostly on
kpop stan twitter. people use the reply function and add a fancam to the reply. the purpose of using the fancam varies, between wanting views, hoping of gaining fans or annoying people.
fancams are different from
fan edits, which is a
compilation of videos created by a fan, sometimes including translations and filters, with background music.
(a fancam with a filter or different audio from the original is still a fancam, as long as it is one performance following a celebrity around with no change in camera angles)
