The Wagons Roll At Night #19


There are also shots of the carnival’s trucks rolling through the night as the show moves from town to town.
[Scenes showing the trucks in motion were filmed using what cinematographers refer to as a Dutch tilt, where the camera is set at an angle so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame. This technique is often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension.]

This is one of the sequences of the whole show going down the road with scant space between the trucks. Such travel is known as caravanning, which is tantamount to tailgating, and is illegal. Trucks of the same firm have to keep appropriate distance between them to accommodate other traffic. For the movie, the show trucks are running way too close.
