Daily Film School 7: Crane shot
A moving crane or jib which accommodates the camera operator & camera but can be remote controlled.
In High Noon it emphasises the Marshal’s isolation as he seeks help from the scared townspeople against criminals who are arriving to kill him.
A detail from Orson Welles’s ridiculously influential Touch Of Evil opening 3 1/2 min long take featuring expert crane work
