A few videos to demonstrate ideas from Part IV (Film Style) of Film Art

A little slow paced, but a good demonstration of various mobile framing devices in the film vocabulary:


A great example of rack focusing:


A tutorial on three-point lighting:


The classic long take, mobile framing from Touch of Evil (see p. 287ff in your book). Start the video around 1 minute. You'll see most of the repertoire of framing -- tracking (dolly) shots, crane shots, pans and tilts, rack zoom, and lots of interesting angles, and shifting distances (from long shots to close-ups). There are a number of joins/editing cuts, starting around minute 4. But otherwise, it's a classic of the long take, though we'll see a far more interesting and better use of the technique (I think) in I Am Cuba (Я Куба/Soy Cuba):


For the classic, more or less first use of cross-cutting, watch the last three or four minutes of The Battle at Elderbush Gulch by D. W. Griffith. Notice also his clever use of framing at 18:23 (the dilating iris of the camera) as the cavalry arrives. The cutting back and forth among the menfolk inside the house, the womenfolk, the injuns, the cavalry... Great, un-politically correct fun.
