Clocking
Also known as clock it, rotate.
Rotating an object, performer, fixture, or camera around an axis to present a different face or angle without changing its general position.
In practice
Crews may clock a prop for label visibility, a light for accessory clearance, or a person for composition. The instruction should identify direction and endpoint, often using a clock-face reference.
