Cinematography Examples

The excellent use of a crane in these shots makes the the sequence very appealing. The long running shots give a sense of flow to the movie, and shows both the setting and the full story of the character running away. This is very attractive to the audience as it shows the characters fully, without any breaks, making them appear more real and lifelike.


 

This amazing tracking shot from Soy Cuba (1964) follows a procession (a funeral) as it goes through a town. This shot was created by the use of a tower lift, and cables over the street, with a heavy camera which didn't need stabilisation, and a few cameramen. This is also very attractive to the audience, showing the full scene and creating a sense of being in the film by using the non-stop shot.
