Chapter 1 reading discussion
In chapter one of the Movies and Meaning, it was very interesting that the different techniques in the same scenes would give totally different feelings. Especially, it was a surprise that the tension of the scene would be heightened by using camera, tracking, and wide-angle lenses, and that the long-focal lenses would affect the speed of the objects. But I am kind of confused that the speed can feel fast by using wide-angle lenses and by the long-focal lenses in different situations. What would be the examples of these situations?
