Thanks for all your great replies and ideas and film-tips! Mark Kenfield, is there a possibility to watch footage (of your example, I stumbled across the claustrophobic expression) or the teaser of the feature? Brian Drysdale and Kenny N Suleimanagich, are your films of yours open for public to watch it? What was the story's implemented feeling? And do you have any regrets having done this choice about one focal lenght? Great film-suggestion, the "Florida Man", Albion Hockney, thanks! Tyler Purcell, this "practical shoulder mount digital camera"-wish is exactly what i was saying just some days ago. Though the Sony's PXW-FS7 with it's 35mm Sensor, S-Log, 4K recording in 4:2:2, is not too far away from being a cinema camera

I am wondering about the feeling that a film gives to its audience when it is realized with a single focal length. First of all I am very interested in your experience if you have shot a (documentary) film with only one focal length! Which kind of story is likewise being told with the use of just one focal length? Which are the criteria to choose this component for your work? Does the film seem more realistic to you in the end (let's say, if you use a 28-45mm)? Does it help to keeping the overall atmosphere homogeneous when each single scene owns a different camera-language? Please let me know about films and other video material related to my thought! It would be great if my inquiry raises a discussion about why to sustain a film's story through that technically and esthetically "dogma". Thanks in advance for your information input!
