There was a very long opening shot in Pride and Prejudice. Those of you who have not seen it yet should watch for it. For those of you who have seen it: I only became aware of it after Liz crossed the little canal in front of the house; was it one continuous shot right from the start?
No, there are a couple of shorter shots before it. But there are several more similarly long shots throughout the film. At the ball, for instance.
Yes, I noticed that one as well.
