LONG LENSES

During the pandemic in Greece, TV channels used telephoto lenses in order to condense crowds in the image and therefore prove that people were not keeping their distances. That happened quite a few times in the boardwalk in the city of Thessaloniki, northern Greece.

Here are some examples from different films.

The Cranes are Flying (dir.Mikhail Kalatozov , DoP. Sergey Urusevskiy)

Forget me Not (dir. Yannis Fagras, DoP. Peter Salapatas G.S.C)

The Comformist (dir. Bernardo Bertolucci, DoP. Vittorio Storaro)
