English term or phrase: pans backward
Most remarkably, two androgynous figures smooch, and we assume they are a young man and woman, until the camera pans backward (a rare instance) to reveal that the people is two shirtless men necking on a couch, with a Warhol painting of Jackie Kennedy propped behind them.


La mia traduzione:
Insolitamente due figure androgine si sbaciucchiano, si presume siano un ragazzo ed una ragazza, finché la cinepresa si gira verso dietro/fa una panoramica del retro (un caso raro) per rivelare che quelle persone sono due giovani uomini, senza maglietta, che si denudano sul divano, con un quadro di Warhol raffigurante Jackie Kennedy dietro di loro.

quando l'inquadratura si allarga (all'indietro)
Explanation:
'pan' viene appunto da 'panoramic' come già evidenziato. Io lo renderei con 'si allargara' sostituendo camera con inquadratura.
