The film’s stylized photography has achieved a high level. Perhaps the most impressive is a large number of close-ups, especially close-ups of natural sceneries such as animals and plants, creating a bleak and weird atmosphere:
Butterflies and moths on the wall, insects on the ground, and balls suspected of being piled up by dung shells;
The zoom lens of the upside-down pheasant's beak being knocked down by a horse;
The silhouette of Heathcliff's galloping horse while escaping from Wuthering Heights in the middle of the night was almost gleaming;
When Heathcliff strangled the hare, the hare was given a close-up shot of the same treatment as a human-the side of the hare being pressed on the ground was facing the camera, his eyes bulging.
There are the most beautiful shots of riding a horse and traveling together in the film:
When Catherine rode Heathcliff on a horse, the camera watched for a long time at Catherine’s long hair fluttering in the wind and the horse’s flying mane;
With Heathcliff's breath, his hands rubbed back and forth on the belly of the horse beside Catherine's legs.
In addition, there are some photography techniques that are very bold in the famous film:
For example, when Heathcliff hits the wall with his head many times, the camera pans back and forth following the swing of his body;
A transition with great contrast of tones-Heathcliff was still escaping from Wuthering Heights in the darkness in the previous scene, and the next scene of dazzling sunlight dazzled the scene.
