Cinematography: Camerawork in Carlito's Way (1993)



Whilst watching Carlito’s way study the following elements:

• Describe the opening sequence in regards to the camerawork utilised by De Palma and what you think it means as a spectator?

• What does Carlito’s narration serve to do for the film?

• De Palma uses a variety of camera techniques throughout the film – identify when he uses the following and why?

• Breaking the 180 degree rule

• Aerial shots

• Extended subjective point of view shots

• Dutch tilts

• Birds eye view (high angle) shots

• 360 degree pans

• Crane shots

• Dissolves


• He also utilises a LONG TAKE? When is this camera movement incorporated and what effect does it have on the sequence?
