No pan, all clutter.

 

Constantinople, panorama de la corne d'or (1897)


Directed by Alexandre Promio this is an early short film. We see Constantinople from the back of a moving vessel.


My question for the day is, is it really a panorama if it is not the camera moving but what the camera is on that is moving? This is a nice enough view of the part of Constantinople however all the boats in the foreground rather get in the way. The whole thing looks a bit cluttered really.
