Favourite Movie Opening Long Takes “Long takes at the beginning of films are used to establish locations and characters. They usually have that ‘grab factor’ or a slight of hand that really pulls in an audience.” – Jith Paul Categories Jith Paul
Favourite Mirror Shots in Movies “From a technical and practical aspect, I marvel at the ability to hide crew, camera and equipment, especially when it is done practically with little to no post-production help. As a filmmaker, I realize that this is especially challenging to achieve in a shot with camera movement.” – Jith Paul Categories Jith Paul
Movies That Changed My Life – Part 3 “A lightness of touch and a musicality in the camera movement, Clint Eastwood’s direction in ‘Bird’ was a revelation to me, a metaphor for the artist’s music.” – Blair Campbell Categories Blair Campbell
Movies That Changed My Life – Part 2 “The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now dealt with the Vietnam war but from different perspectives.” – Blair Campbell Categories Blair Campbell
Movies That Changed My Life – Part 1 “In 1968, I was 12 years old and one day I went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey with my dad.” – Blair Campbell Categories Blair Campbell
