The Crane Shot Redux



In S6/E8, Point and Shoot, when Kim is approaching Gus' house they use an overhead shot that for, all intents and purposes, is identical to the crane shot in BB S4/E2, Thirty-Eight Snub, when Walter gets the, "go home," phone call.

Very cool stuff.

Need an example to refresh the old brain box but I seem to recall a similar shot.

Thats pretty neat though.

They did that because we know Gus always has people watching.

In the BB episode director Michelle MacLaren used the crane shot because she, "...believed it conveyed Walter's helplessness, insignificance and lack of experience."

In BCS it was used just to recall the original. The helpless and inexperience angle could certainly be applied to Kim.

I love the consistencies like that, Gus is always watching and if he isn't, his people sure are. He is prepared for nearly every scenario, except high school chemistry teachers! haha
