...cinema, the result of ways in which these film-makers are forced to work (since they cannot structure the situations to suit their techniques-the real world doesn't provide set-shots-they must adapt their techniques to the situations). Hence synchronous recording and close-shooting, most often with telephoto or zoom lenses. Direct cinema is therefore a simpler and more intimate style of exposing contradiction. The implicit contradictions in an intrinsically ironic situation are given free to play to reveal themselves without benefit of reconstruction by the film-maker...

Aside from switching from slow to fast scanning, no adjustments are necessary other than choosing between four fixed-focus lenses-a wide angle, a telephoto, a lens for lunar daylight and a lens for lunar nighttime...

(Typical Harriman report: "We met for 3½ hours and had extensive discussions.") To stave off boredom, photographers took to training their telephoto lenses on balconies of apartments near the Majestic, zeroing in mostly on the performance of a petite blonde with an extensive wardrobe of underwear on the fifth floor of No. 20 Avenue Kleber...
