What is the name of this camera work used in the opening shot of After Hours?
What is the name of the camera technique used for the dynamic opening shot of Martin Scorsese's After Hours?
Best Answer
Dolly shot, or tracking shot. Some use both terms interchangeably, while others define tracking shot as a side-to-side motion and dolly shot as an in-out motion. In this case, the motion is diagonal, so it would be a diagonal dolly shot (or diagonal tracking shot).
