Eyelines and framing are used in movies to show dominance and weakness. The article shows this example by a clip from "Silence of the Lambs". This clip is a great example of how camera shots set the mood of the scene shifting from one characters perspective to another showing different motives. For example when the camera is looking down on one and up on another it means that the character that the camera is looking up on is controlling the scene. Another example is when two characters are looking into the camera directly they are in a stand-off fighting for control of the scene. In scenes these happen back and forth usually without the audience even knowing. Just remember there is always so much more that is said than the dialogue suggests.
This article really surprised me! This has to be one of the most interesting ones yet! I never realized how much the camera can tell the story more than the actual dialogue itself. This article also made me want to watch "Silence of the Lambs" which I have not seen yet. I also really liked the fact that this article is very short, sweet, and to the point. Overall great article.
Well I hope you have all enjoyed this weeks Serious Time! Hope you all have enjoyed and I will see all you lovely faces later! Peace!
