Things Mrs. Robinson Doesn’t Want You to Know About ‘The Graduate’

5. Let’s Try Something New

Cinematographer Robert Surtees was allowed to experiment with new filming techniques on The Graduate. Some of these experimental techniques include filming Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) running straight towards the camera even though he appears as though he is not getting nowhere when he is trying to get to stop Elaine’s wedding. In another scene, Benjamin walks from one side of the screen to the other while the crowd walks the opposite way, another cinematic technique used to visualize the story’s themes.
