Throughout the clip the camera is kept stationary, this is most likely due to 35mm cameras in 1960 were difficult to crank and move at the same time, however during two shots, Arbogast falling down the stairs and as he falls to the floor, the camera moves. In the first moving shot the camera moves down the stairs with Arbogast later edited in through green screen, and in the second shot the camera pans right to show Arbogast's whole body splayed on the floor.
