but must walk down the street and make a natural turn. It was 
quite understandable that he could disappear around the turn. 
The action had to follow a natural course of events.

     Panning shots were very confusing because the audience 
didn’t realize what was happening. They thought the items and 
details inside the picture were literally moving. You see, the 
convention was not accepted. Nor was the idea of a person 
sitting still while the camera was brought in to a close-up; this 
was a strange thing, this picture growing bigger in your 
presence. You know the common way of starting a film: show 
the city, narrow it down to a street, narrow it down to one 
house, take your camera in through the window, etc. This was 
literally interpreted as you walking forward and doing all those 
things until you were finally taken in through the window.
