Crane Down Landing

Watch as an animation →

In plain words

The camera comes down from high up and lands at a character's eye level, moving from a wide space into the story.

When to use it

Height transitions like sky → plaza (e.g., a parachute in the sky → the seam into the plaza crowd), when an establishing shot leads into the main character.
