Egypt / Lebanon Montage from Khalid Mohtaseb on Vimeo.

This video was filmed for a documentary and employs some different techniques to the other videos shown.

I like the establishing shot. The tilts, pans and zooms work really well together, interspersed with MCUs and close up shots.

Each shot is roughly around 4 seconds long, although of course there is variety. It is not a fast moving film, which works well in this scenario. It works to show a country in need.

I think the shot zooming across the dried ground to the cattle is great. The use of perspective makes it feel like we are on a journey through the area, not just observing from static positions.

The closing shot is interesting. It is simply a reversed duplicate of a previous shot, but it closes the film off successfully.
