The Long Take

1. Long takes have been pretty popular because it limited how much film a camera can hold which would cost less money. Long takes can show scenes that most likely have action or show suspense. 

2. 

a. Enhancing theme

b. Technically Innovating

5. a. The opening scene is impressive 

b. This is because the movie starts off with the death of a kid on television, indicating a dark day for people in the coffee shop. The opening is mostly silent as the camera is moving slow to represent slowness. The long take is meant to narrate the plot of the movie with the coffee shop blowing up. 

6. I have noticed in movies that I have watched where it was being used. Mostly in scenes where there is action and suspense.
