Wayne Smith Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Hello. I joined to ask about something I'm simply quite curious about. I hope it's ok for a civi not in the industry to come here for a question. In 'Dante's Peak about half way through there is a series close ups between Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton having a quiet conversation. There are about four cuts back and forth between them. In each of Mr Brosnan, the camera constantly shifts back and forth a few degrees, and when it goes to Ms Hamilton it is still (no camera movement. I guess this could be some artifact. I was watching this on TV, but noticed it now two times I believe, which finally picqued my curiosity to ask. But if it is not, and I presume nothing like this would be anything but intentional, what would be the reason or desired effect for doing this? Thank you Wayne - Just a young man in the, twenty second row.." Edited November 29, 2014 by Wayne Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't know the scene, but you do have to consider the content, the power/emotional relationship between the characters, any emotional sub text and if the camera movement is being used to reveal these things.
