Crane / Birds Eye View / Aerial

Crane / Birds Eye View / Ariel:



The crane shot i found to be a perfect example was the opening sequence of 'Touch Of Evil' directed by Orson Welles.The use of the crane shot in this sequence is to keep focused on the car with the bomb planted in the boot, the crane varies in height from above buildings to the floor and there is not a single cut. It emphasis the scene as you feel you are near the car and it could blow any minute. A crane shot is a shot taken by a camera on a crane. The most obvious uses are to view the actors from above or to move up and away from them, a common way of ending a movie, however this scene has gone against the standard way and used it at the beginning

Example of a crane:
