Steadicam














My interpretation of Steadicam is similar to a dolly as it is able to steadily and smoothly circle around a subject without the shaking of a camera, except unlike a dolly shot it is not shot on rails. This may be to give an easier seamless traversal over rough terrain.

I believe this technique was used in this scene for quick and smooth traversal over the foliage of the forest. This results in a swift and smooth circular transaction around the cast without any shaking of the camera. This possible makes it more aesthetically pleasing for the audience to watch and allows for them to view more of the environment as well as the cast.
