For my response I watched the provided film‚ Stand by Me with commentary by it’s director‚ Rob Reiner. One of major things that jumped out at me while watching was the use of what Reiner called a “long lense”. He first references this technique when Teddy is standing in the train tracks but brings it up again when the train is coming towards them while on the bridge‚ when the boys are walking down the tracks in the morning after they sleep in the woods‚ and again when they’re making the trek back
