In this scene, from The Social Network, a very linear sport is studied and experienced through spectacular cinematography. In the scene, the Director (David Fincher) highlights a race between two teams competing in Crew. What's unique about this scene is his on axis/off axis cinematography. The linear progression of the race is experienced from the line itself, shifted adjacent to the line, and then back off from a distance.
I believe this clip will be very interesting to break down and diagram. The camera revolves, aligns, and runs with the action in the linear progression which could be particularly powerful as it pertains to our studies.
