Inspiration 2 Lock Stock Fixed Camera Shots


We would like to use this shot in the making of our video as we feel it is a very effective way of displaying disbelief and a loss of mental awareness in a given situation. In our music video we are planning to use this when our protagonist takes a pill of some sort and believe this shot will amplify the dizzy and confused state the character is likely to be experiencing. The camera follows the character's movements exactly and in essence is being controlled directly by the actor himself. It also puts the audience in a very strange position as they are forced to follow every subtle movement the camera makes and we believe this close-up style shot is the best way to engage them effectively. Also, its clear to see the sequence has been filmed two or three times and the shots overlap by slightly fading them together. This gives a sense of displacement in the character's mind and I feel is a very effectively use of editing which achieves the desired effect successfully.
