check out my new blog; One Shot

Sorry I missed your earlier response, Reinout. There has been a malicious hacker from Eastern Europe (you'd think they had enough troubles to keep them busy), attacking this site. Bizarre! So we've lost some posts, then Peter has to painstakingly roll the site back to an earlier day & then we start again.

It's a lot like filmmaking... with script rewrites, missed shots, pickup shots, etc...

Oh well, ever onward & upward.

Remember when we started this thread there was some conversation about the eyeline? There was some consideration of the angle off the straight on POV & how less of an angle conveys greater intimacy.

Well, I was just reading a fascinating interview with Director Mark Romanek talking about Never Let Me Go , I sent it out on Twitter , & was looking into some other info on the film.

Check out this scene & notice how the camera's angle off his centerline is less than hers. This enforces the romantic inclinations in the script & the acting performances. He loves her more than she loves him.
