However, Murnau has filmed this shot in such a way in which the audience’s eyes are rarely, if ever, taken off of the characters. This is a strategic idea by Murnau, as the city is overwhelmingly dominant and influential in this shot, much like the city woman was to the mans thoughts on drowning his wife as a proposition for an escape. This shot was done in such a way to show the turmoil of city life, and how it can engulf a person. This tracking shot appears a realistic situation as the camera mimics what is occurring in front of it. The story then follows the repairing of the relationship, but the struggle is shown in this busy shot. This is evident, as the camera follows the strain on the relationship after trust has been broken. It must follow characters at times into difficult places”, which explains his reasoning towards this shot. In 1928, Murnau wrote “to me the camera represents the eye of a person, through whose mind one is watching the events on the screen. This is evident in the shot as the camera travels in several directions. Mobile framing in Sunrise allows the angle, direction, distance, and level of a shot to change via a tracking or dolly shot. This tracking or dolly shot follows a chaotic direction, which complements Murnau’s discussion in 1928 that shots should “whirl and peep and move from place to place”. The camera is shot as a long-focal-length lens with movement, and is weaving through people and cars following the patterns of the main characters. This shot is immensely crucial in regard to the development of the story. In this shot, the actors end up holding in an embrace, and they cross the road together, narrowly escaping the chaos of the city surrounding them.
Specifically, the famous tracking shot of the two main characters, the man and the woman, rushing across a busy road as she is running from him in fear. Mise-en-scene and camera techniques are important factors which give meaning to a shot. Also notable is that titles appear sparingly, with long sequences of pure action.

Full of cinematic innovations, the cinematography featured particularly remarkable tracking shots. This was achieved through the several shots in Sunrise. Silent film is where the belief that cinema could speak an international tongue was understood. Sunrise, a silent movie, had a pinnacle of visual expressiveness, which without talking could still portray its meaning. The film, directed by F.W Murnau, was made using a popular film movement of the 1920s, German Expressionism. Through topics like lust, love, grief and horror, this film inventively utilises the idea of film as an artform. Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans portrays the dramatic, comedic and horrorifing story of the human condition.
