Tracking Shot Scenography

by Pete Brooks

The idea is to put the limited audience (probably 8) in a moving truck that replicates the movement of the camera on a tracking shot as it follows the central character, an actress, on a journey back through the films she has made. The truck will move slowly across the 25 metre wide space pushing through a series of layers each one of which will be a scene from a film in which she performed. I am aware that my friend and colleague Dr Andrew Quick has lectured on the dramaturgy of the tracking shot. Unfortunately I don't know what he said.
