Then the film cuts to another high-angle view of the hotel lobby, and the camera cranes upward. The fact that the two cranes are not simple follow shots increases their effectiveness. A follow shot keeps a walking subject locked in the center of the frame. A dynamic crane shot is more intense because it puts the entire frame in motion.
