Scarface is an amazing movie and one element that makes the movie good are the camera shots.
The following are some shots that tie in with the in-class handout:
0:18 Scarface in a medium close shot
0:29 - 0:40 A Zoom Out which places Scarface in a smaller state compared to his
huge wealth behind him.
0:47- 0:55 A Cut In scene with two subjects only showing their hands
plus a moving zoom toward the bill counter.
When the music starts, many of the scenes include zoom with movement which, with no words,
does some of the talking.
1:31- 1:36 A Tilt movement showing the name "Montana Management" then showing the wealthy men walking out from the building.
2:26 - 2:35 Crab shot to the left
2:36 - 2:38 Wide shot of the wedding which gives the scene a more "family" atmosphere.
3:03 Over the Shoulder Shot concentrating on the woman's facial expression.
3:19 - 3:28 Following Pan leading the group.

Great work Nick. I love the camera's following nature. Your work kept me thinking "how did he do that?!". You really capture a cold feeling, and rather mechanical, to the piece. Probably experimenting with monitors would of served good as well which, as you know, Nauman used in the Public/ Private space installation. R.T
