G2Crane up
lift from a personal moment to the scale of the world; an ending or a beginning
A drone pull back flies the camera back and up from the subject, revealing the whole place. What it's for: leave a person small in their world; an ending that reveals the whole place.
G1b

Scene paragraph A small fishing village of red and white wooden houses on the shore of a deep turquoise fjord in summer, photoreal Nordic drama. Steep green cliffs rise on both sides, fishing boats sit in a little harbor, and on a rocky point stands a lone red wooden cabin with a small jetty and a rowboat. Crisp clear northern light. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.
Aerial drone shot starting low and close above the red cabin, flying steadily backward and upward from the first second. 0–2s: a woman on the porch waves up at the drone. 2–4s: the drone flies back and the cabin shrinks. 4–6s: the village and the harbor come into view. 6–8s: it settles wide on the whole fjord between its cliffs, the cabin a tiny red dot. Throughout: smooth backward flight, one continuous take.
Start close on a person and end on the landscape. The pull back makes them small in their world.
Other direction: Drone push in
Pairs with: Bittersweet recognition
