I think about it all the time. I'm always studying films and reading stuff on cinematography. Just the other day, I read that if you shoot a car at a low angle, it looks faster and more powerful then when shot at a high angle. And a tilted camera view creates a feeling of chaos. Stuff like that.
Yes, i'll give you an example. In Natural born Killers they crafted some strange magical device that acted as a tripod for the camera, but it also rocked and swayed from side to side. Oliver stone used this to recreate the effect of wobbling on a boat. When you're wobbling on a boat, you feel sea sick.
And yeah also about low angle. Just imagine the camera is a person. If it's above someone, you're looking down on them, if you're below you're looking up to them literally. It's all little simple things like that.
I was thinking last night that recreating real life in a sense of say.. i dunno a drama is not right for flash. It's alot of work, like you watch a tv show and they move about blink and stuff, you can't do that in flash that's propostrous or something!!!
What's a strong thing you can do in flash
Bleh. Yeah, so if flash isn't cut out for recreating real life, what's something it's great for? Action? I think that's what i;m thinking mainly.
