The Unfortunate Policeman, or A Victim of Misfortune (1905)
The first shot, comprising almost half of the film, is a studio representation of a shopfront:
shot 2: Wetherill Road, having turned out of Sydney Road, heading towards Muswell Avenue:
shot 3: also on Wetherill Road, running in the same direction, but further back, nearer Colney Hatch Lane:
shot 4: Wetherill Road again, but this time running in the other direction, from Alexandra Road to Sydney Road (the towers of Alexandra Palace are visible in the background):
shot 5: once more on Wetherill Road, running in the same direction as shot 4 but right at the bottom, at the junction with Colney Hatch Lane:
shot 6: Colney Hatch Lane, level with number 194 (Robert Paul's house), and running towards the junction with Wetherill Road:
Like The Medium Exposed, this chase film connects locations that are very close to each other, but without respecting the topography of the area.
