fancam

a video that follows a specific person performing on stage/a video that focuses on a person performing.

(not associated with fan-made edits.)

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)

a video of a celebrity, usually taken by a fan and used on twitter. in most cases the celebrity is performing, or it could be a video montage. these are often used as a form of status.
