  16. Tracking Shot • Camera moves with the action • Follows or “tracks” the subjects in action • Can be on a tripod, in hand, or rigged to operator • Operator moves camera smoothly to stay with the action

  17. Tracking Shot • Signature shot of Director Martin Scorsese • Long duration shot from start to finish with one camera and no cuts • Made Famous in “Goodfellas”

  18. Camera rigged to operator via Stedicam • Scorsese initially opposed Stedicamusage because of strain on operators (Weighs about 75 pounds before camera is mounted to it.) • 8 Takes needed to get the shot right from start to finish…choreography worked perfectly…one actor kept making a mistake on his lines.
