It was conceived out of necessity, for the crew only had a day to film and had limited time with the 1,000 extras and had to shoot before the tide would come in and wash away the set. It was NECESSARY to do it. So they thought "Why not do it in a interesting, creative way?". Not exactly. Joe Wright has said he wanted to make an almost literal adaptation of the novel, the tracking shot on the beach was a way to show off the impeccable technical aspect of the production and to convey a sense of dispair that a character can only feel in his thoughts on paper. That may be the story on why it was done, but Wright had a real thought in how it was done.
