    A typical technophile shot (of questionable artistic merit) using movements:

    See the focal plane (quite shallow!) follows the front plane of the car due to use of lots of front swing.

    Strictly speaking you could achieve that with a medium-format view camera (GX680, flexbody, etc) but those are either so large or expensive as to be (IMHO) fairly pointless; you might as well just get a 4x5.

    Other common things to do are plane of focus follows the ground (more stuff in focus without losing sharpness to diffraction) and parallel sides while placing the focus through carefully selected points.
