The fisheye and wide-angle lenses offer a unique perspective, allowing the capture of vast areas and emphasising the acceleration of the skateboarder's movement. Through compression of the background, these lenses put focus on the skater and his or her actions while magnifying their body size and allowing for extreme close-up shots. This gives filmmakers and photographers a degree of flexibility when capturing the skateboarder's motion and performance. Furthermore, particular emphasis is put on movement when filming a skateboarder, as media specialists will often move in sequence with them to coordinate the footage.
