Listen "Placing the Camera"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we unpack what makes you lean in, and what makes you pull away from a movie? We explore how physical space and emotional instinct intertwine, not just in life, but on screen. We follow the dance of the camera as it draws us near or keeps us at a distance (sometimes without us even realizing it) and consider how those choices shape our experience as an audience.
But this episode goes deeper than just cinematic technique. It offers a look behind the curtain at the complex roles of the writer and director, and the mental shift required to wear each hat well. Filmmakers must first know the emotional engine of a scene before choosing how to capture it visually. Whether you’re a seasoned storyteller or just love watching movies, this episode will change the way you think about the space between the camera and the character, and what it means for the space between you and the story.
