| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To illustrate how Steven Spielberg and Janusz Kaminski shot this one continuous take to open the sequence, which involved three different shots stitched together. As said in the article, Kaminski describes that it "starts as Steadicam, bringing the actors down the hallway, then as soon as the doors open up, it transitions into a cable cam shot that goes up into the air and over to the other side of the gym." |

| Other information | This moment from the film went viral on social media in late February of 2022 before the film was released on streaming, further amplified by a Twitter thread by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro analyzing the shot. |
