Listen "Narrative Perspective"
Episode Synopsis
Ever wondered why some stories are just captivating, while others fall flat? In this episode of Visium, we dive into one of filmmaking's most fundamental yet often overlooked aspects: narrative perspective. We explore the crucial difference between seeing a story and experiencing it, unraveling how directors and cinematographers make intentional choices about who's really telling the story in a film.
Through fascinating examples from classic films like Hitchcock's Vertigo to modern masterpieces, we'll discover how the seemingly simple choice of camera placement can completely transform our connection to characters and story. Whether we're placed as distant observers or thrust into a character's innermost thoughts, these perspective choices shape not just what we see, but how we feel – and ultimately, how we experience the story being told.
