The Dynamic Frame: Camera Movement in Classical Hollywood

5.x26 The Marrying Kind

Following the established convention of panning from landmark to star (as in 5.x25), this shot begins with a low-angle view of the Woolworth Building; then the camera moves in for a closer view of Florence, visible through the window of a fluorescent-lit office. The subsequent scene appears to take place on a set, but this establishing shot conveys authenticity.
