A pass-through shot glides the camera through a window or wall into another space. What it's for: link two spaces in one move; a playful transition.

Scene paragraph An old wooden toy shop on a snowy winter evening, photoreal family film with warm golden light. Shelves are crowded with wooden toys, rows of marionettes hang by their strings above a long wooden counter, and a snow globe holding a tiny village sits on the counter. An old toymaker with white hair, round glasses and a green cardigan works at the counter. Outside the frosted front window, snow falls on a lamplit cobbled street. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.
The shot opens outside on the snowy street facing the frosted shop window, toys glowing inside, the camera gliding forward from the first second. 0–2s: snow falls in front of the glowing window. 2–4s: the camera glides forward and passes through the glass. 4–6s: it floats inside past the hanging marionettes. 6–8s: it arrives at the counter, where the toymaker winds up a little wooden bird that flaps across the counter. Throughout: one smooth forward glide through the glass, one continuous take.
Pick a surface that can be passed through: glass, a window, a screen. Say “passes through the glass” on its own beat.
Pairs with: TV glow
