Some like it hot - Camera pan transition

 Oh something about black and white movies brings me back to older times in the cinematography.

In my opinion, Some Like it Hot, directed by Billy Wilder in 1959, is the greatest comedy ever made.

The great acting performance of Hollywood actors makes the movie richer and impactful, and more interesting   to watch.
The scene that I chose for this assignment is the major lead, Joe (Tony Kurtis), and Sugar (Marilyn Monroe) on romantic date in the boat. The other scene that has the effect of transition pan is Jerry (Jack Lemmon) and Osgood in a restaurant dancing. To make a continuous shot, the director decided to allow pan transition that avoids cutting the shot and makes two scenes live – action, and makes these scenes in completely different places seem like they are both in one setting. However, if the scenes were cut between each other it would feel like the audience misses something from the scenes.

This scene shows to the audience how one scene can smoothly transfer to another scene by changing the environment and the music background in the scene. The most interesting moment in this scene is the change in a very rapid move but it happens smoothly so that the audience likes this effect. The audience is caught up in the scene making this effect more intriguing and dynamic to watch. It feels like the audience doesn’t miss any funny moments in the movie.
Overall this scene could be a guide when somebody, as a director, wants to use pan transition effect in their movies because this is a successful one.
