Hannibal Spector

This article was all about the movie The Silence of the Lambs and how the director used different camera techniques to give a sense of ownership of each character. There where many different techniques used for many of the shots. One of them was how when Clarice sits down, Hannibal has the authority because we are slightly looking up at him and down at her. Another example is that how later on in the scene we see the first shot of them together in the same frame. This is because the hadn't seen eye to eye before hand and the scene is starting to pick up in excitement. And the video shows that ultimately, Clarice got what she wanted but she feels humiliated. This article was great because I had actually seen the video before. I used one this guys videos for my link of interest a few weeks ago and I like his videos on films a lot.
