What scenes in famous movies are difficult to shoot, but few people pay attention to them in the end?

The ninth episode of Brothers Company begins with a long shot, which I personally think is the most beautiful shot designed in all ten episodes of TV series:

From the close-up of the violin, the bow is placed on the string and the music begins; In the sad music, gradually pull back, with four violinists as the center, the camera gradually rises, and draws a small angle counterclockwise-the man who swept the surrounding ruins, the woman who hid her face and sobbed, the American gendarmerie with MP armbands ... Before aiming at the people and carriages in front of two piles of waste bricks, the camera gradually zoomed in and lifted; Instead, look down; Pull it out again and draw it clockwise for more than half of the original week; Zoom in and aim at the E company soldiers on the second floor of the ruins ~

The trajectory of the camera in a single direction never exceeds 270 degrees.

We might as well set the starting direction of the lens to the positive direction of the Y axis of the cross mark, then the lens will turn left to the fourth quadrant, then pull up, then pass through the first and second quadrants clockwise from the fourth quadrant, and finally turn to the third quadrant. Still in this coordinate, if the starting shot is 12 and the position of the officers and men of Company E is 7, then the position of the camera is between 8 and 9, and people and scenery within the range of 1 1~7 are photographed through the expansion and contraction of the rocker arm.

This long shot is so classic! The whole length is more than 2 minutes, constantly pushing and pulling, moving counterclockwise and clockwise, showing details and showing the overall situation. People feel that the position of the rocker arm does not exist, and the camera lens itself is suspended in the air, showing a 360-degree panorama.

The intention of including this shot is also obvious: Germany has been bombed into ruins, and the only person who can look down on the defeated nationals from the perspective of the winner is the American soldiers on the second floor.

We see a lot of long shots, either fixed seats; Either the mirror/object takes a reverse angle of 180 degrees, or the mirror/object takes a 90-degree angle in the same direction. It is really rare for such a lens to take a 270-degree angle. The director/photographer who designed this lens is obviously showing off his technical level.

I remember this long shot was used as an example. Some people say that after watching the Armageddon-Huaihai Campaign, they felt that the long shot in the air of "Huang Wei March" was very shocking. Then I replied that the sports panorama of the large corps was really cool, but it was not difficult to shoot. The camera is outside the scene, and the trajectory of the aircraft position in aerial photography is parallel to the ground. In this way, if the machine does not enter the scene, there is no need to worry about "time-space conflict", which is really not a technical problem.

Let's look at this lens of the brother company-at the beginning of the lens, the position of the lens is at point A in the scene space of the lens's 0 second position, and then gradually pull away, lift up and turn around; After 0+X seconds, the camera moves to point B. At this time, the point A where the mirror is opened is just within the composition of the lens-in the process of moving such a complicated long lens, there will be multiple overlapping projection points between the "scene" and the "mirror". This is a difficult test for directors, camera technology and everyone including directors, photographers and actors. In order to show a perfect flawless "space", we must strictly control "time" and never let the projection points become intersections. Quite a test of the director's scheduling ability at the scene.
