Charles Sheeler is more of a construction photographer in which he was fascinated by the compositions man made objects and structures created to create a pattern within his images and look interesting.
As Paul Strand was more of a people photographer together the short film shows both the inhabitants and the city of New York and how they combine together to create the city as a whole.

Granted the short film is more about the construction of the city candid photography is still a part of this short film which gives you a sense of culture and helps the film work together with the city scenes.
