[Frameworks] Films that utilize the zoom lens?

[Gene Youngblood]

sometimes its interesting to consider the difference between a zoom-in and a dolly-in or crane-in, like Hitchcock’s Notorious and Foreign Correspondent, which essentially accomplish the same transition from wide angle to ECU without cutting. Foreign Correspondent is a dolly-in-the-sky.  Regarding zooms, I recall some kind of gathering in a late Visconti where the camera zooms in on faces in the crowd one after another repeatedly. And another early Viola, Chott el-Djerid, has epic zooms in the Sahara.

dear Mike,

Andy Warhol's CAMP (1965) and Peter Watkin's PUNISHMENT PARK (1971) both use a crash zoom effect in vastly different settings. It's wild to think of these two films together.

Stephen Dwoskin's BEHINDERT (1974) has a subjective, exploring zoom lens, which shares some similarites with Chick Strand's FAKE FRUIT FACTORY (1986) and SENORA CON FLORES (1995/2011).

Yours,
kelsey
