Keeping the area in the frame at the edge of the screen in mind, position
the camera so that the same area appears in the frame for the next
picture. Compose the picture so that the section that appeared at the
right edge of the previous picture (or the left edge if you are connecting
pictures from right to left) appears at the left edge of the next picture (or
the right edge if you are connecting pictures from right to left).
