- A static camera placement is given an interesting new perspective by being put on a moving tram.
This shot also gives a first person account of the unique intimacy that riding a tram through Hong Kong can bring. Adjacent trams and buses are close enough to touch, and it seems like Hong Kong’s architecture is close enough to touch as well.
2. The upward panning of the camera paired with the horizontal movement of the tram makes Hong Kong’s tall buildings seem even taller.
3. Our focus is shifted to the man on the bicycle, as the tram’s speed is much faster.
4. In this shot we can see that passengers leaving the tram is very quick, in all, 30 seconds. This angle also allows us to focus on the interactions upon leaving the tram as well as the tram itself.
5. The tram’s unique windows also give a unique framing effect.
6. Shooting from a low angle and from the closeness of a tram can give a cropped effect to Hong Kong’s skylines.
7. These shots that were pieced together were taken of an aerial view of the tram.
8. A boy and his auntie run for the tram.

Good try at different angles and catching moving objects of different speeds.
Very amazing to use the bridge to crop the view while the tram (camera) is moving, can elaborate more on this method (using surroundings as a frame to crop the subject).
